Check in was flawless. Got our room by 2pm. Room was in general location of my request. Something in the old section close to the lobby is no longer "close to the lobby". Anyone who has not been here since remodel will find the first rooms in the old section are pretty far and you will experience more maze like walking to get to lobby, but it is not too bad. The hotel is beautiful and the staff is very friendly. Don't really care for location of the bus stop now, but the cafe right at the bus stop is a great place to get breakfast on the go. (one of my unanswered questions before I got here). They have croissants with egg, cheese and either bacon or sausage. I had the egg, cheese and sausage and requested it on an english muffin. It was a bit more, but well worth it. The egg is scrambled and they give you alot. They have V8 juice for those who might need it to get through the morning.
Evergreens still has good onion rings made from real slices of onion. I have to say I still dislike the pizza. Been trying it since 99 and my opinion will remain the same. (I think it is the garlic). The turkey club is awesome, but the chicken sandwich was dry. I suggest you stay away from the salads. We had the garden salad and it was a huge bowl of rather old, dry lettuce with 3 thin slices of cucumber and 4 tomatoes the size of the end of your little finger. My $5 was better spent somewhere else.
Have not eaten at Garden Gallery. We have run into some people here at the hotel and they have nothing good to say about breakfast or the dinner buffets.
The AAFES country store has everything you would need, so if you forget something, they will have it.
Only snag I have run into was at check in. We like to have our room prepaid. Originally, I had contacted SOG via e-mail and asked if we could do that and send additional money to sit in the acct for things like park tickets and on property charging like for the restaurants, etc. I was told that would be no problem, but the only place I could not do charging was the AAFES store. Well, I never got around to sending the extra "charging" money, but had miscalculated my room fees because I forgot about the deposit they took when I reserved the room. So, I had $99 for the "onsite charging". When we checked in, I was told I could not use that money for "room charging onsite", because I would need a credit card and a debit card was not accepted. Luckily, they refunded my money immediately, but in the event they could not refund immediately and I had sent in much more, it could have been a problem if we had been on a tight budget. I was told money could sit in the acct for park tickets, but nothing else can be purchased with that acct money unless I had a credit card. Just a heads up for anyone who was wondering.
We still have 7 more nights here, so if anyone has a question they want answered, I will do my best to answer it.
