"We had a very nice stay at the Riding Academy. The room was spotless, comfortable, and well maintained, and the property itself is beautiful and relaxing.
The only area that could use improvement is the guest experience at check-in. We arrived just over two hours early and were told our room was already ready, but we would need to pay an additional $50 to check in early or wait until 4:00 PM. While we understand and respect the policy, the welcome felt rather impersonal. It would have been nice to receive a brief introduction to the property, such as where to find dining options, the pool and its hours, or other amenities guests can enjoy.
Breakfast was another disappointment. There is no hot breakfast, only grab-and-go items, and they are quite expensive. Adding a hot breakfast or offering more reasonably priced options would make a big difference.
Overall, we really enjoyed our stay thanks to the beautiful property and the exceptionally clean, comfortable room. With a warmer welcome and a few improvements to the breakfast options, this would easily be a 5-star experience."
