Portola Vacations from $609

It was off-season, but we enjoyed it. Celebrated my daughter’s birthday and went swimming barbecued cooked a lot. Barbecue propane tank were empty, but staff was able to help get it going.

This resort was probably a shining star in the 90s but it's pretty dilapidated nowadays and in need of updating and renovations. The price was great for an apartment in that locations and the beds were comfortable - we did enjoy our stay! One major issue I want to mention, for families with young kids, is the spiral staircase to the loft. The spacing of the guard rails is so wide that even our 4 year old could have slipped right through and there's a major drop to the lower level - terrifying to say the least and I have a hard time imagining this is up to code.

Great location. Clean rooms. Still don't like the "Resort Fee" but I guess that's just part of the deal. Don't see what I get for my $86 though.

Room a little dated but very clean. Elevator carpets can use new carpeting. I was very happy to see they still had Valet service. A lot of casinos no longer offer this service which is unfortunate. Would definitely stay here again.
