The place looked fancy from the outside, and it definitely has a nice location.
The cleanliness of the room was questionable. We were on a road trip through California and stayed at 6 different places. This was by far the worst bed we experienced during our entire trip. The bedding was really itchy, with a scratchy blanket and a large pillow that clearly couldn’t be washed. The air in the room felt dusty.
My stay was mesmerizing, the facility, mountains and spa. Who would want to leave
Everything was amazing. It exceeded my expectations
I didn’t like it when it was time to leave these fantastic facility
Fantastic Experience, friendly staff, great facilities, comfy beds at the doorstep of natural beauty
We loved the overall experience of the resort. I felt like were at the resort from Dirty Dancing - everything was there - activities/ games room; library; pool; spac. It was beautiful in a lovely setting. Everything was so easy - it's all there! The wonderful staff organised for us a tour guide into the Park - she was wonderful.
I understand that there are hikes and the 'great outdoors' - but I missed the TV at night to fall off to sleep with. It was disappointing that the Spa didn't have staff to enable us to book treatments. We were told it wasn't peak season - but the hotel was booked to capactity. The spa room with the showers; steam and sauna were nice - but we were looking forward to some massages after our long flight from Australia. After a few days I got sick of the menu. Breakfast however, was amazing.
Setting and accommodation
Food was a bit mixes
Great location but basics should be much better
Restaurant staff. Location.
Amenities for the price are basic. No use of spa included for guests already paying a lot per night. Would be included at most hotels. Tea and coffee provided in bedroom however no milk. I asked at the reception desk if they could give us some milk and they said we had to buy it. To me this is crazy considering the room rate. Shower knob was very wobbly and housekeeping was always too late in the day after we had got back from day hikes and want to relax.
Fantastic place in a fantastic setting
