The front desk staff accommodated a late checkout. They also allowed my family to store meal prep in their fridge. The staff ensured we had everything necessary for surgery recovery. Access to races was easy.
The breakfast scrambled eggs tasted like powder. Hash browns were also not very tasty. I found that the breakfast was lacking.

The location provides greenery and quietness since it is near a racetrack. i found a parking space easily. It was ample. the hotel staff offered recommendations, and i visited the rubbing horse restaurant, a short walk away. the restaurant was excellent.
the room was small for my family. the sofa bed was not comfortable for the children. the base had bars that could be felt through the thin mattress.
