Liked: Cleanliness
The room was okay, restaurants were good and it was nice that they were in the hotel. However in the evening there was no hot water. When we tried to call the front desk we realized the phone cord on the phone in the room was cut. I then called using my cell phone and was only able to get through to reservations. After 20 minutes of trying to get the front desk I gave up.

We have stayed at this hotel for the last 3 years for the World Horse Expo. This year was by far the worst. The hotel just seems run down, at least the rooms. The room had some white powdery substance all over by the air conditioner. There was no fridge in the room for drinks or leftovers. There was no hot water for a shower in the morning. Another guest had a dog that yapped and barked all night. Our group was treated poorly in the Winner’s circle by the line dancers. We were physically pushed while on the dance floor. We did not sleep at all. Our group of 20 rooms will be finding a different place to stay next year.

Despite being on 4th floor heard highway traffic all night. Breakfast no longer automatically included. Brown water came out of shower faucet when turned on. Clearly no one has vacuumed under the ottoman in some time.

All rooms are not created equal here: stay away from the rooms that are adjacent to the indoor pool area unless you enjoy children screaming/yelling at all hours of the day/evening. Also, these rooms are uncomfortably HOT. Also the showers need help. Warm water not hot water and the shower heads spray in 64 different directions.

Easy free parking for truck and 5th wheel camper. Easy access off I81-not a crazy busy exit Front desk was exceptional, Olivia. Could use updates to facility and found card entry door ajar both ipon arrival and departure, which is concerning. Stayed on front side to avoid hearing I81 traffic. Good value for our one night stay
