Nice clean new hotel block within world equestrian center and near the main The equestrian hotel. It’s got big clean pool, quality made interiors, little cafe /bar on the ground floor, large lounging areas downstairs. The only thing I’d like to add is walking direct To the main hotel, I was a little confused about how to get there.

The hotel is wonderful. The artwork and decor are incredible. It's very clean, the room we were in was a good size with a nice, deep, closet. All of the staff was very professional and willing to help in any way.

Beautiful new but food options are nonexistent
Stayed here after a Univ of Florida night game - drive was about 45 minutes - arrived at midnight so check in was easy - beautiful brand new hotel - in middle of nowhere - further from I-75 than expected - room was awesome - clean and well furnished - two complaints though (1) we had two queen beds and both my wife and I felt like they slopped to center night table (2) Food options are terrible - I went to get breakfast at 6:30am and 4 people behind counter point me to shelf with a premade sausage biscuit - nothing substantial - and there is nothing nearby - I guess if you go for horses and want to drive to the 1 or 2 small restaurants it is a beautfiul place but we wont be going back since not horse people and not much else to do there.
