8.6/10

I thoroughly enjoyed my stay at the hotel. The rooms were very clean and well-appointed, offering a nice view of one of the arenas nearby. However, there was a noticeable smell of dogs lingering in the room. The service was top-notch, with incredibly friendly and helpful staff. The location, though quite remote, exceeded my expectations and encouraged exploration. Dining in the main restaurant was unmatched, but I wish they would bring back the delicious chicken buffalo dip.
