Nice looking place, but some things fall short.

First floor room, Nice hotel, loved the warm pools, and fire pits. Hotel looks really nice overall. Unsure if there's an elevator as we had a first floor room but noticed 2 sets on stairs in our general area in building 1. What i liked about my room was the ease of access to things like multiple entries / exits to get to areas of the hotel. I wish that you couldve adjust the shower head. It was pointing straight down and felt very close to the shower shelf. The restaurant only had 1 server each time I went. My first visit my lemonade had a tiny bug. The second visit, my lemonade was served in a cracked glass. Both times food was barely warm to cold. Didn't mention it to the servers since it it seemed like they were understaffed and food took a while to get. You can hear everyone talking in the hallway of your room and if you have people in the floor upstairs, you can hear every step they take. Luckily we were tired and we're heavy sleepers during our vacation. The outlets on the lamps are really close to the bottom of the lamp so if you have a charger cube it does not fit.

Bad service that significantly impacted the experience.

I recently booked a package through Costco that included tickets, a hotel stay, and a car rental. While I was initially excited about this trip, I encountered a frustrating issue that significantly impacted my experience. Upon checking out, I was informed by the front desk that parking fees were being charged, despite there being no prior notice about this additional cost. The lack of transparency regarding these fees is disappointing. Furthermore, we did not use the hotel’s parking facilities, as parking in the surrounding area was more convenient and accessible for us. Despite this, I was charged $25 per day. The fact that these charges were applied without prior notice and without us utilizing the parking service is unacceptable. It created unnecessary inconvenience and frustration. In addition, the service provided by the front desk staff was unprofessional and insufficient. The representative I interacted with seemed dismissive and unhelpful, leaving me with the impression that the situation was handled in a tricky and dishonest manner. This level of service is not what I expect from a hotel partnered with Costco. Because of this experience, I cannot recommend this hotel to others. I kindly request a review of these parking charges and a resolution to this issue. I look forward to hearing back from you soon.
