Great stay. Make sure to ask about parking within the facility; it is an additional cost. “Free breakfast” is charged as part of the amenities fee, and it’s so so (coffee, small muffins, bagels, yogurt, hard boiled eggs) However, the property location and price compensates. Will definitely book again.

We’ve stayed here twice for shows at the Keller and the facility and staff are so focused on making the time feel a bit extra special all the time. My wife and I felt like Lyle and Damian genuinely wanted our trip to be as good as possible and that is hard to do when you work in hospitality! Lu’kas went above and beyond unloading luggage! We recommend the Zags to everyone.

I liked how modern the property itself was. Enjoyed the fire pits and the game room. My only complaint is that they didn’t have plugs by the bed and I had to unplug the safe to use the outlet
