    We attended a Navy reunion in Kansas and received exceptional service from Veronica and the staff. They made sure all our needs were met, and the conference room was perfect with kitchen access and refreshments. We highly recommend this hotel for any event. Uss Horne Veterans

    We booked a corporate event with Veronica. Her and the staff were amazing. She made sure we had everything we needed. She checked in multiple times before, during and after the event to make sure we were taken care of. Could not have asked for a better experience. We will be booking all of our events here going forward.

    Attended my first Heart Sisters Retreat hosted at this location. What an amazing experience. Veronica, the event manager, was so attentive, charismatic, and took such good care of us and all of our needs! Thank you for all you do. Coming back in October, and can’t wait to see how you wow us!

    I’ve held events here for 100+ ladies several times a year, but working with Veronica the past two events has been a game-changer. She takes care of every detail, engages with my customers, and even surprised us with a fun event that supported another woman-owned business. Thanks to her, we’ve secured 10 more weekends in 2025—this hotel is clean, friendly, and perfect for my group!
