We had been in the hotel for only a minute- he and the previous cantankerous one never gave us a chance to even sit down and be patrons before they started spewing their nasty reception at us! However We had already decided after the reception from the first gentleman that we were not staying! If this is the reception they give customers they should probably post on the website that the public is not welcome here as this certainly seems to be the message they are putting out. We walked around for a minute then rounded a corner and low and behold another ornery and snappish gentleman who said -oh the public the public keep coming here this is for patrons only. We had driven a long way but decided not to sit and eat or drink and just to take a quick look and leave as we were feeling very uncomfortable. We would stop for a bite to eat and a cold drink and check out the art.SO VERY VERY WRONG! We walked into the hotel and seconds after we got in the door a cantankerous gentleman informed us the art collection was not for viewing that we had to take a quick look and leave!! We were quite taken aback. JESSIES GRAND FATHER GRAMPS AS HE LIKES TO BE CALLED TELLS JESSIE AND CHARLIE THAT THE FORCES OF EVIL ARE ALWAYS TRYING TO GET THE SKULL BECAUSE OF THE MAGIC.

The bar tender took us up stairs that I don't think we ever found again, to the third floor to show us our room, where we found someone sleeping in our bed. I did get the same dialog as everyone else, resulting in a stuck gramps. Silly, gramps, he escorted himself back to the Boat landing. I zoned in the cave, got my pelts, zoned out of the cave, and he was no where to be found. We were just in time for last call at the bar, we ordered a couple of large beers, and pain the $Cad 49 for our room for the night. This included collecting pelts from inside of the cave for the collection quest and the card. We Entered the reception area, which is also the bar, dinning room and commissary, and were greeted by statues, dugout canoes, expensive paintings, 20-year old Good Housekeeping magazines, plastic gnomes and three buckets collecting the water leaking from the pipes in the ceiling. Lucky we got there when we did as this is a one-of-a-kind gem. Rice Pudding - House Rice & Chia Coconut Pudding.
