This was a lovely stay, however the room was not to the standards of cleanliness that it should have been upon arrival (visible dirt on the bed frame and on the counter). Additionally the condition of one of the peloton bikes were almost unridable and unsafe and the other one wouldn’t connect to the app. The bourbon butter cake was a real treat. There was also limited handicap parking for my father.

Beautiful resort grounds, excellent indoor and outdoor pools with large hot tubs at both! Staff was friendly and helpful. Beds were comfortable and rooms were clean and relaxing. Many inviting areas around the property to relax and enjoy friends and family. Including a bar and outdoor gas fire pits. Would definitely stay here again

Horrible experience.

Food and beverage is a disaster. Bar service was inconsistent. Restaurant food was uneatable sent back hamburger twice it was so over cooked it was crumbling. Saturday am it took 15 min to be seated and then 20 min to be waited on. Short staffed and no MANAGER, Server said they don't come in early. This was the morning of the Derby and lots of people wanted to eat before the drive to Louisville. They got up and left. Saturday evening there was a fire alarm. Guest left the building however there was no sign of management anywhere to direct them where to assemble. Fire Department arrived and had to make their way through the crowd. Having been a GM of large hotels this is basic management to have a fire plan in place. Would not reccomend this property to anyone.

The stay was great. We enjoyed the pool, spa and hot tub. The hair dryer appeared to have flecks of white on the handle and when turned on it blew out a bunch of white pieces. There were dirty spots in the bathroom as well. Otherwise great place to stay.
