“Comfortable room, but the "Resort" needs to take care of the "small details" to truly be a Resort.”
- • Leisure trip
- • Group
- • Stayed 2 nights
1) I'd stayed here before, with a big group of women and loved it. I was very disappointed with this visit. We had rooms A239 and A240, 2 adults in each room. In Room 240 there was only 1 bathrobe, no recycle bin, no full length mirror, no bottles of water, only 1 makeup remover pad, the fridge freezer was all iced up so we couldn't use it. The bathroom is very tiny for the size of this room, very little space to put your bathroom essentials. Room A239 also had no water bottles and no makeup remover pads. The Keurig coffee machines and the trays they were sitting on were filthy and dusty inside and out. We had to clean them in the bathtub before being able to run any water for tea. I called Housekeeping and they did promptly bring the robes, water and makeup pads. We paid an exorbitant "resort" fee of $26 per room per day - $104 total, on top of a high room charge. We went to the hot tub on Saturday afternoon, the jets were not working, the water was lukewarm. The staff said the tub has been broken "for months". So we paid all this resort fee money and couldn't use the hot tub which is the only thing we cared about. When we checked in, we asked about reservations for dinner for Fri/Sat nights, and were told not too worry about it, because there was a wedding and the restaurants wouldn't be that busy. When we went to the Tavern for dinner Friday night at 7:30, there were a lot of very unhappy people waiting, we were told there'd be a 10 minute wait, they "were just clearing some tables" and would be able to seat us after that. We said we'd be happy to sit outside as well. At 8pm, we were still waiting, even though there were empty tables outside... finally seated us inside at 8:15pm. While waiting, we tried to make a reservation for The Junction for Saturday, and told no tables available until at least 8:30. So we ended up leaving the resort to get dinner elsewhere. Very disappointing.
We had 2 "Culinary King" rooms. They were quite large, and the bed was comfortable. However, many of the small details that make a world class resort were sorely not in evidence for the price we paid.

The property is really let down by the members of staff working there. From check in there was no information regarding breakfast or any of the facilities. We were handed a card with a list of them. Not able to get coffee after 11am even though there is an on site cafe. We had dinner at the Tavern and steak was cold when it arrived. Very poor service, waitress couldn't answer questions about the menu and we waited a long time to even get a drink.
The property is beautiful. Very peaceful for a retreat. Beds extremely comfy and on spa facilities.

“A good value for the money and still a little special. Maintenance needs some honing.”
- • Leisure trip

Shower pressure wasn't so great. Fake plants everywhere inside (and old faded ones to boot). Areas of mold on the vinyl siding that has been neglected for too long. The temperature in the room could only go down to 68 and with the ceilings so high it felt much warmer. The control also went back up to the predetermined temperature when you left and only back to what you set it at when you return. Room always felt too warm. Delicious pastries in the lobby are for sale only.... even in the morning. They only supply you with coffee.
The staff was exceptional. They always said hello, were social and always happy to help. Beautifully landscaped grounds.
