Stonewalled in West Virginia

Decided to get away for a few days. Headed down to the Stonewall Jackson Resort in Roanoke,West Virginia.  On the upside the place and grounds are beautiful.  The resort sits next to a small lake.  What could be better?

As it turns out just about anything.  I think that Stonewall Jackson might have actually slept in the beds.  I didn't sleep a full night the entire time.  The room's AC unit sounded like it was a jet aircraft engine. No rest for the wicked???!!!

Food at the hotel was bad...I mean really bad.  They also ran out of things on the menu.  We were told more than once that "it's coming in the next ruck."

There's plenty to do as far as outdoor activities during the day, but everything shuts down  at
7 p.m.except for the bars.  The sight-seeing boat on the lake only goes out once per day...ridiculous!!! There really is nothing close by to drive to.  In a word..BORING!!!!!

I know West Virginia fought for the North during the war.  Perhaps along the way they forgot something about "Southern Hospitality"?!
