Amenities

• Pool and Hot Tub
• Large high ceiling interior for flying drones

Misc

• At least some of the outer rooms are smoking rooms and allow pets

Food Options

• Sandwich Factory
  • Good: Burgers, Tour of Italy sandwich, Fried Pineapple and Onion Ring Burger.
    • The inside out burger was alright, but I'd probably get something different next time.
    • Chocolate covered bacon
  • Bad: The Philly Cheesesteak is reportedly awful
    • "Awful" might be a little melodramatic. I'd go with "weird." Hfuller (talk) 22:04, 9 November 2015 (CST)
• Deezie's Hot Chicken
  • Jeff 2015: Hot was too hot, Cajun and Hot together was about right.
  • Jeff 2016: Feels like they changed their flavor levels. Hot and Cajun mixed together was not spicey enough this year. Also liz got food poisoning, hope that's just a fluke.
  • Jeff 2017: Medium was not hot enough. Would go Cajun, or maybe Cajun mixed with Hot. Extra pickles is a good idea.
    • We sent a small group to bring back the order this time and it worked out really well. Recommendation for future group orders would be to specify which messaging app to hit up the order placer with, Kinsey used Signal and his order was lost.
• Green Dragon Inn, middle earth themed restaurant.
  • Would need to call to confirm, but this place has a room in the back that could be used for large groups. If that room is not available, I would not dine here with a group larger than 6.
  • Very good sandwiches and food. Can recommend Brie and Apple sandwich, and the Reuben.
  • Had good selection of meads to drink.
• O'Possums. Irish gastropub about 15 minutes from hotel. Good Mac and Cheese \ Shells and Cheese made with gouda, or blue cheese. Shepard's pie was good, but needed salt. Corned beef was good. Fried pickle spears are large, and use a funnel cake like batter. To-go orders available.
• Chicago Pizza, almost walking distance from the hotel.

Drinkin

• Don't forget to bring a good large insulated mug (Yeti or similar)
• Just a traffic light or two down the road is a very large Liqour Store, "Total Beverage"
• A Wal-Mart is nearby for mixers.
