2/5 Poor

Traveled with family and small children
Disliked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities
We stayed here for 3 nights - May 6 to 9, 2022 CONS - Customer service from front desk staff, hassle of checking in, room dusty/unkept Checking in was such a hassle. We got in the hotel late coming from an all day of travelling. First, they gave us the wrong room. Booked premier room with 2 queen beds (we have 2 kids) and they gave us a room with only 1 queen bed. Husband went back to front desk but they kept insisting we only booked a room with 1 queen bed. Went myself to show the receipt (no way Jose we are cramming in 1 queen bed, plus this was booked months ago and already fully paid!) Took 10 to 15 minutes of back and forth for them to finally apologize and give us the right room. Room was spacious but not well kept, very dusty. Called the front desk the morning of our 3rd day to have the room cleaned, we came back in the afternoon and the room is still not clean. PROS - View of the mountain and their restaurant (The Prow) - Amazing food and customer service! Overall, not a comfortable stay and would not recommend to family and friends! Can get a more comfortable stay and better customer service somewhere else for the price.
