The hotel is beautiful however my room had ants in the bathroom and shower area. I immediately contacted the front desk upon check in and they said they would send some one right away to take care of it. I was gone all afternoon and evening at my granddaughters volleyball tournament. When I arrived back in the late evening the bathroom was still covered in ants. Maintenance showed up in the morning to finally take care of the issue. This caused me to vacate my room prior to my check out time. I spoke with the front desk and they offered no apology. It was obvious customer service was not a priority.

Lux Hotel - Good Price!

This hotel is lovely inside with spacious rooms, a beautiful courtyard, and a quiet location next to The World Equestrian Center. It is a bit far from town but close to the WEC if you are part of the horse community. The downside is there are no dining options in the Hotel -- it's a bit misleading because the hotel boasts multiple dining options and a spa; however, those amenities are actually at the neighboring Equestrian Hotel. The eateries are quite far unless you rent a golf cart or drive to the Equestrian Center -- and the restaurants are difficult to find as this is such a massive facility.

Very pretty. Room service was very slow. I paid for dogs on the reservation, would have been nice if the beds and bowls were already in the room.

Beautiful comfortable spacious rooms!

Beautiful property and so much space. We did the horse show for the first time and loved the hotel. The pool area and outdoor fireplace was so nice! Comfortable beds! Great channel selection, wet bar w the mini fridge was so helpful for the weekend. The maid staff even found an item I left behind and communication through text made it easy to find out lost items. We will definitely stay here frequently!
