  • Area, lobby, grounds.
  • Room was much less than expected.

“While the resort is lovely, front staff was helpful, our room housekeeping left much to be desired.”

  • Lovely grounds and common areas.
  • Bathrooms are very small.

“Housekeeping/maintenance are very slow to respond to requests. We waited close to an hour for a TV remote since ours was inoperable. For a hotel of this quality - that should not occur.”

  • Accommodated us with 3 very young kids (all under 4).
  • Room smelled musty.

“We would gladly choose this hotel again. Staff went above and beyond for my children even gave horse stickers to welcome them! My kids cried when we left. Staff gave them dog treats to take home to our puppy to help us on our way.”

  • Location.
  • Hotel allows dogs. Woke to dog barking in room. Continued till we called the front desk who responded within 15 minutes.

“If you have allergies, stay away from this hotel. Dogs are everywhere, including a basket of bones (and carrots for horses) at the front entrance. They should house all dogs in one area of hotel in specific rooms. I would not stay here again.”

  • Very upscale.
  • Ice machine was very hard to find and no garbage cans at the elevators! People were playing basketball until after 2 am.

“Wonderful hotel, excellent staff. Would and will stay there again. The rooms are luxurious, with duvets and plenty of pillows. Beds are so comfortable and bathroom is roomy and decorated very nicely. Nice pool area and beautiful grounds.”

  • Service is great and everyone was friendly.
  • I would be great if they had more than one self laundry facility onsite. The one they have is only on the 2nd floor and was always being used.

“This hotel was a fantastic. I hope I am lucky enough to get a room there next time I try.”

  • Easy access from I-75, nice pools, pretty grounds, very comfortable beds.
  • Service slow.

“We have stayed here before and it is a great hotel, however this time they did not have a double room, only a king but offered to send up a rollaway bed which I immediately agreed to. After four further requests from me I finally got my rollaway bed at 10:30 p.m. after checking in at 7 p.m. with 3 small children. I know they were busy but it seemed ridiculous that I had to make a call every 45 min. to get what they offered me when I checked in. Despite this I would stay again just call in any special requests in advance.”

  • Beautiful indoor and outdoor pool, nice big rooms, nice bedding.
  • Non-smoking room smelled like smoke. Switched rooms. Still smelled. Musty, too. No Disney!

“The hotel was beautiful, room was lovely. Lots of space, nice bedding and soaps. They were out of ice tea and ice water from 3 PM on. Did get some the next morning. It was hot - just teased us to see it sitting there empty. Did get a free bourbon taster in the evening. Both rooms we tried smelled smoky on the 5th floor. The second one was better and I didn't want to complain again so we dealt with it. Had it not been for that, the stay would have been just about perfect. There is no Disney TV here, we had to pay $9 to watch a Disney show. So kids were bored when not in pool. Nice pool, however, nice hot tub, too. Free tennis courts with free equipment.”

“The swimming pools are nice, the kids enjoyed them. This is a nice hotel, I would recommend getting the bigger room or a suite, the two queen bed room is a bit small for two adults and two children.”

  • Excellent service, excellent food, excellent room, excellent amenities!
  • Our experience needed nothing.

“We were late arrivals met by probably the best front desk service we have ever experienced. The restaurant was still open but only for a short time longer, the server insisted that we take a seat anyway. We followed the dinner recommendations of our server and experienced excellent service and food. An overall wonderful and relaxing experience. I had been to this facility before for conferences but had never spent the evening there but will definitely will be back. Thank you for a wonderful evening!”

“The grounds and facility were wonderful. The pool area was great and friendly for any type of group. The housekeeping ladies were so nice and helpful. The beds were soft and comfortable. I loved the bath and body shampoo and lotion. The people at the desk were great about giving directions and making suggestions about places to eat and shop. We loved it.”
