Jacob Lake Vacations from $580

My Expedia receipt for the hotel did not match hotel’s reservation they had from Expedia. The young man checking me in quickly rectified the issue. I’m very grateful especially when traveling solo.

Cute place. No food or alcohol allowed though.

The pool was down for renovations, bummer. The gym worked ok, I had to adjust a lot on the fly but the resistance cable machine D rings that lock on the handles or bar etc were bent and basically welded on, so I could not change out the handles and they were attached at different lengths, so that was really awkward, I made it work but it just needs some pliers to loosen up, or they need to get classic carabiner rings that can be taken off much more easily. There were no yoga pads or anything soft to use on the hard rubber gym floor so I had to use towels to pad my bum in my core workout, and my tailbone was sore for 3 days. The room was relatively clean and the shower was very nice, but I went to war with 3 moths that I had to take out, not a good sign. I turned the air off but the unit kept buzzing all night long, I could not figure out how to get the noise to stop, it was quite annoying and way worse than a gentle white noise, it woke me up about 30 minutes before my alarm was going to go off, it was so loud, that needs to be fixed. Lastly my TV would not go below 14 volume - maybe set up that way on purpose because of the messed up crazy loud air unit, but I like to set a sleep timer and fall asleep with the TV on, but the air and TV were so loud that I ended up with pillows wrapped around my ears. I will bring earplugs next time I stay there if I ever have to stay there again, should have paid a little more and stayed at a Hilton. Not terrible but not likely to return.
