It was okay

Check in was smooth and simple. Very large property, but needs to be upgraded. Carpet was old and stained. Room smelled of walking into a senior facility. The windows and screens were old. Walls had peeling paint and many cracks. Bed was made nice but nothing was dusted. Clocks and counters and tables I had to clean myself. Lost power for 4 hours the morning of checkout from 6:45am-10:15am and no one acknowledged that during check out. The rooms are much darker when the window is open than what is shown online. Overall it want the worst stay, but I’ve had much much better.

The property is in a wooded area and there are paths to use for short hikes. The lobby and spa are beautiful. Check in was super easy and the staff was really nice. I got a bottle of wine for being Expedia VIP. The room is simple but clean and the bed comfy. Our slider opens to the center of the property. We didn’t use the swimming pool or fire pits but they looked busy. The gym looked nice. We came for a quiet and restful night and we got it.

The property itself was very good, but we never were offered the room upgrade and the free bottle of wine. I asked about the room on the first floor because we have a baby and a stroller. The staff at the reception confirmed that the room will be on the first floor, but it was on the second.
