Travel Arrangements
We offer complimentary bus, train and airport pick-ups and drop-offs during specific time frames ONLY.

There have been occasions where guests cannot find travel arrangements within these time frames. In cases like that we offer the option of Saturday night check-in between 6-9 PM, CST. There is an extra fee of $75 for 1 person and another $50 for each additional person. The extra fee covers the early check-in, the additional night of lodging, and Sunday breakfast. Please note supper will not be provided Saturday evening.
