Me and my husband went for a weekend getaway to see the winter WEC competition. We had such an amazing time! The property is beautiful! We dined at the yellow pony our first night. Our second night we went downtown and dined at a French restaurant. And our last night we dined at the hotel restaurant called Stirrups. The service was amazing. From housekeeping to the restaurant staff. We were VERY late (1 hour!) for our reservations at the Stirrup restaurant because we were watching the Grand Prix competition and the hostess was fabulous. She still was able to seat us and we were able to have a lovely dinner. Our server at stirrups (Gaby) was phenomenal. She was very professional and so nice. We’re definitely coming back here again!
