Celebrate Columbus Day Weekend or Indigenous People’s Day

If you get this holiday off from work, it’s a great time to spend an extra night with us to earn your way to a free night with our Frequent Stay Program.  With the fantastic weather, this weekend is often filled by guests with fun outdoor activities including the Running Wild 5K. If you can’t make it this weekend and want to celebrate our native peoples, visit us in November to enjoy cultural live music at the Native Rhythms Festival, a three day event held during Native American Heritage Month that honors the culture of the indigenous peoples of the Americas.
