Sendero Cedar Side: Tours y Actividades

We stayed here over Labor Day weekend. Checked in the man at the front desk was very kind and helpful. Pulled the car around to unload our bags and noticed that the landscaping around the hotel was unkempt, covered in weeds, overgrown, half dead, and kind of a harbinger for what was to come. Got into our room and it looked clean and nice, and for the most part was cleanish. Room smelled a little bit like smoke, but not overpowering. Mostly smelled of chemicals, maybe some kind of bug or mold spray. Dropped our bags off and immediately went down to the pool. The water was so cloudy. It was almost milky. Couldn’t see my swim trunks, could only see about 1 foot down through the water. I grew up swimming in muddy, lakes, and dirty, rivers, and I felt uncomfortable swimming in this pool. I don’t take noting the following lightly, but on the edge of the pool was a cockroach, antennae twitching. I hadn’t seen a cockroach in decades. But there it was. I should also note there was a woman in the hot tub with her maybe 10 month old baby in there with her. Just wild. The room was OK, but the hallways and stairs all had a faint smell of smoke. And the whole place was honestly just very rundown. It was the kind of place where I tried really hard not to touch the comforter. And I’m not a prude when it comes to germs or cleanliness, I can handle some filth. I really wanted to give this place a better review, but if you’re thinking of staying there for $120 a night, try somewhere else.
