Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities
Clear instructions, generous size of room, clean. The hot tub was such a great bonus! Restaurant was excellent and offered a generous selection for the free breakfast (TIP: book a dinner reservation before checking in, if you can). Tea and coffee station was appreciated. The pillows and towels were less than stellar and the window coverings are not blackout. Note: there was no microwave or fridge in the room (which was tough if you have a cooler full of food for the rest of your travels).

Check in was a breeze. The room and bathroom were very clean. The blankets on the bed were super warm. I did not come for the horseback riding experience, but i think anyone who loves to ride horses would be happy here.
