“I had a wonderful experience at this hotel! The room was spacious, impeccably clean, and very quiet – exactly what we needed for a relaxing stay. The staff were incredibly nice and friendly, always ready to help with a smile.”

“It was a last minute decision to make a reservation, we live 2 hours away. My daughters wanted to watch the Grande Prix. We stayed in an arena view room and it was perfect. I could have watched it from the window! So convenient to walk from hotel to the stands for an up close experience…”

“The rooms are luxurious and gorgeously decorated. I look forward to staying here each year when I come down to show. All the staff are super friendly, especially Chaveeta, who my friend and I loved to chat with at the front desk whenever we were entering or leaving the lobby. Love this place!”
