Trying to check in early was a little ridiculous list. I wanted to charge $20 to check in an hour early. That’s their policy to check in early but still that’s a little ridiculous for just an hour.

The staff was super friendly and the location was great. A week before our trip, we were messaged that the restaurant would be closed for portions if our stay. Limited food options otherwise. They use those awful "daylight" bulbs everywhere which is cold and unwelcoming. The bed was really springy, and had two divets where previous vacationers slept...

Worth every penny!!!

The service and information given at checkin was on point. The room, THE ROOM, let me tell you, simply amazing. It was more like a little cottage. So adorable. Newly updated. The bathroom, shower and closet area was huge and completely separate from the sleeping area. The sleeping area was HUGE!!! We loved it. Worth every penny.

Great place, EXCEPT...

Almost everything about this stay was great. Almost. I enjoyed the pool and hot tub, I liked the mountain-style decor in the room (lots of carved wood), I was grateful to have a fridge in the room, there was a nice big table to work at, and the argon-oil lotion and shampoo were great. The staff I met were professional, kind, and helpful. The on-site restaurant and gift shop are impressive. Thunderbird let me know before my arrival that its on-site restaurant would be closed that day, which helped me come prepared to feed myself. After snacking on popcorn, I was picking up a few pieces I had dropped and noticed a couple of what looked like pieces of popcorn underneath the other side of the table. "Wow--I didn't think I had dropped that much--and how did they get over there?" I wondered. Alas, it was not popcorn--it was potato chips, left by some prior guest. It worries me that something so basic as vacuuming was not done after (how many?) prior guests had departed. That's my only complaint.
