Rooms and staff was nice, dining prices were amazing, Steakhouse was excellent. Was attending a concert at the JT Corral but did not get to see because of a medical emergency. Had a medical emergency and had to be ambulanced to hospital and security at Hotel sent security guard to come get me after 6 hours in the middle of night to go back to room. I did experience ants in my room on the second bed.

From the start the valet Mike was very courteous and quick. We entered, gave him my reservation number and CC and he handed me the room key. The only downside was a slight smell, kind of what you get from being in your grandma's house. People are allowed to smoke in certain areas within the Inn so I'm sure that was it. The bed was clean and the bathroom was also clean. We took a walk around the property and were pleased to find a trail path that took us along some wetlands. I haven't smelled flowers so much in my life. The air smelled amazing and the day was perfect. I am considering coming back in December when it's covered in snow.
