What a classy, elegant hotel! It's too bad we only had one night to spend at TRAH before traveling on because the rooms were so very well appointed, clean, and comfortable and the pool area looked very inviting. We will gladly reserve here again in the future. Wonderful hotel!

Amazing staff and a great, convenient location for riders. The only problem is the noise. It can get noisy during early morning, and the guests next to our room were very loud. I had to complain, and the front desk was very apologetic. We will definitely come back.

Beautiful spacious room. Very clean. And nicely-decorated. Off site restaurants are a 2 minute drive or walking distance. Shopping nearby. Pool is very nice. Starbucks coffee shop in the lobby Miles at the front desk is very helpful, knowledgeable and went above and beyond to make sure we were all happy!
