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!

The rooms are always great! Well appointed, the beds are clean and comfortable, and the pillows are top notch. The only thing on my wish list is that they would put some hooks on the back of the bathroom doors to hang up your pajamas. The tack room is really the best place to get breakfast. Emma‘s is a little overpriced and the food is not great. Viola and dots Pizza is a must and Filo‘s Mexican food is also great. Wanted to try Genevieve‘s, the new Italian restaurant, but they were booked as it was the WEC equitation cup weekend. Always a great great stay and and looking forward to coming back next year.

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.
