New hotel beautifully appointed. We found it odd that there were no dressers or drawers in the room to keep our clothing in. Other than that, it was very nice.
Amazing property! Must see and plenty to do onsite. If you want to lounge feel free and rent a golf cart and enjoy entire compound. We go with our children and it’s a great family vacation.
The Riding Academy Hotel and the World Equestrian Center are beautiful! The complex has great restaurants and stores. Not a detail missed for a comfortable and enjoyable stay. I cannot wait to go back!
Beautiful hotel and so convenient to go to arenas for horse show. The morning rush for coffee and breakfast was miserable. Only one self serve cafe. No microwave in rooms so if you buy a microwaveable food item, have to take to check in clerk and wait in line. Great place if you have a dog and very accomodating. The hotel rooms are very long hall and quite a walk to access your room. Not handicap friendly at all. Stayed by exit door and it slammed all night until 0200. Staff was great the next day and sent maintenance but it needs an automatic slow closing soft touch closure. Also the heat/ac would light up periodically all thru the night. Love the location.
