This property is gorgeous! I got a King room with a view of the arena. Now if you are planning to sleep in, maybe don't get this room. You will hear the bells go off signaling the rider...but oh my is it worth it to wake up to that!! I saw competitive jumping! It was amazing!! The room was perfect, the spa is nice, the whole hotel is lovely!
