Good for Everyone
The hotel is well run and clean. It is conveniently located, not too far from the Horse Park and easily accessible to/from the highway. It was nice to have the golf clubs stored at the proshop just like a country club. The only negative is that there is a charge for internet access - not acceptable in this day and age.

girls weekend/wedding dress shopping
They did not have a double room for us, so we had to sleep 3 in a king bed and 1 on a rollaway, + the crib. Made for a very crowded room and the bathroom was very small. However, the complex was very nice, personnel where very nice, pool was warm, hot tub large--no complaints there.

Beautiful Hotel, comfortable beds
Beautiful hotel, the rooms were clean and comfortable beds. The bathroom was very small. I had a room next to the atrium and it was very noisy every night until midnight. Also, they had some type of dog convention going on and dogs barked during the night.

Horse Park Visit
We went to Lexington to visit the Horse Park. The hotel was within 5 minutes from the Park. The hotel was surprisingly affordable as to the amenities that were offered. Clean and comfortable rooms and a super breakfast buffet was included. The rooms weren't very sound proof. I heard someone in the room next to us using the toilet in the middle of the night.
