immersive atmosphere spacious room short walk

the theming created an immersive western atmosphere. callaghan's hotel was a short walk from the main theme park. the room was spacious and clean, it had a good layout.

Food options felt a bit limited. I drove into town, it was better than queuing for the buffet!

poor sound isolation questionable food

The hotel location helped, with direct access to the theme parks. So, at least something went smoothly.

My room's sound isolation, uh, didn't exist. I heard every noise outside. finding my room in a building separate from the main area became a quest. Dinner offered food of questionable quality, which isn't exactly what I was hoping for from a four-star place.
