The hotel was new, clean and conveniently located near the holiday events, restaurants and equestrian center. The room offered enough space for my family of four, and the staff was friendly and helpful. My main feedback is about the lack of water stations and/or complementary bottle water in the hotel and rooms. Also, we ate at the Yellow Pony two times and while the food was delicious, the service was exceptionally slow. Overall, the holiday decorations and on-site experiences offered a memorable experience for my family, especially my kids.
