We usually stay downtown for the USGP but decided to try something different this year. Sure glad we did. Steve was a wonderful host and the accommodations were just as advertised.. Steve had suggestions for lots of nearby restaurants, which panned out and it was a short ride downtown if we preferred. Great property, great host, 5 stars. ##### Joseph F.
