Hotel is very good, but not like The Equestrian, as it is more modest and lack a restaurant option. Otherwise, we had a very good stay, as facilities were clean and staff was very helpful! All consider, it is an excellent choice too.

The property is amazing and clean. A great location with golf cart shuttle just perfect. However, the staff (front desk) is terrible especially one of the supervisors was just awful and rude.

We had a lot of issues changing our reservation from a three night to a two night even though we are within the contracted time allowance to make changes. I spent several hours on the phone and 4 days with Expedia support and the riding Academy before I could get it straightened out. It was very frustrating.

The hotel is beautiful however my room had ants in the bathroom and shower area. I immediately contacted the front desk upon check in and they said they would send some one right away to take care of it. I was gone all afternoon and evening at my granddaughters volleyball tournament. When I arrived back in the late evening the bathroom was still covered in ants. Maintenance showed up in the morning to finally take care of the issue. This caused me to vacate my room prior to my check out time. I spoke with the front desk and they offered no apology. It was obvious customer service was not a priority.

Lux Hotel - Good Price!

This hotel is lovely inside with spacious rooms, a beautiful courtyard, and a quiet location next to The World Equestrian Center. It is a bit far from town but close to the WEC if you are part of the horse community. The downside is there are no dining options in the Hotel -- it's a bit misleading because the hotel boasts multiple dining options and a spa; however, those amenities are actually at the neighboring Equestrian Hotel. The eateries are quite far unless you rent a golf cart or drive to the Equestrian Center -- and the restaurants are difficult to find as this is such a massive facility.

Very pretty. Room service was very slow. I paid for dogs on the reservation, would have been nice if the beds and bowls were already in the room.
