Reviews and Ratings
The hotel is like a hidden gem, nestled in a serene pasture with stunning views of the stadium. The rooms are luxurious, offering a warm and cozy ambiance. The service is top-notch, with a fantastic team that goes above and beyond to ensure a memorable stay. The location is superb, especially for those attending events at WEC, and is a great starting point for exploring the surrounding areas. The dining experience is exceptional, with refined dishes that truly stand out. The facilities are modern and well-maintained, offering everything needed for a comfortable stay.
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.
