Overall Score5.0/ 5
I can not say enough fabulous comments about our stay. We arrived with a very large horse trailer, the manager came out and helped us find the best parking (Sam) also Luis. Clean. All the staff go above and beyond. The restaurant and live music were just what we needed after a long drive.
