Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
I had to change room from single to double. He was very helpful. Colors were nice in there. Landscaping, outdoor grills . Well maintained. Excellent breakfast. Neat pool with basketball hoops. A water fall type thing in the pool. Full size fridge that’s cold and dishwasher . Sheets and pillows were luxurious. Soft . People behind the desk were so helpful. The big”IF” we go to Midwest horse fair again, this will be the place we go to and I’ve been to quite a few places. The only downside was the hot tub was a bit too much chlorine. And water in the room if you make coffee is chlorine taste. I live where there’s well water so our water doesn’t have chlorine. But that’s the only thing.

This was one of the best hotels we have stayed in as a family. Clean, great breakfast, and staff (very welcoming). The pool was great for our kids, and we just had a great experience. You cannot bet this location, treatment, and price.
