The property is beautiful. We stayed here the same time last year. The hot tub was not working last year or this year either. That was a disappointment. We were here for the NHRA, hot tub would have been nice.

It's pretty bad when your restaurant that's advertised on your website is NOT open. There should be a large sign on your website AND at the front desk.

No room service. During check in, we were asked if we wanted our room serviced and I said Yes. We stayed for two nights and our room was not serviced. Why even ask? We had three people staying in the room and the extra sheets and blanket were dirty and rundown. I tried calling both the front desk and the housekeeping numbers from our room and both calls went unanswered. Needless to say, we are disappointed. Upon checkout we weren’t even asked how our stay was. Clearly no one cares.
