Not coming back
We arrived early around 1pm when check-in was at 4pm. But despite arriving early and them knowing we were waiting, we did not get the room until 4pm. I don't think they made any effort to prioritize the cleaning of our room. When we got into the room it was freezing cold. They had not bothered turning the heat on despite the cold day either.
The room itself has a nice view and is reasonably comfortable but it has not been remodeled in I would guess 20 years so it feels very dated and this impacts the comfort. No room service to the room as well. Also I had flowered delivered to the hotel and after 1 hours, I went to fetch the flower myself as they had not delivered it to the room. Overall a very mediocre experience given the price.

For the price I was expecting more. Hotel rooms very dated. But did have full kitchen which was nice. We got to the hotel at 3:50pm and was told they didn’t guarantee rooms until 4pm and we would receive a text. So we went to the bar to order a drink and wait. We were never told as Hyatt reward members we should receive a free drink. I was told I could get Hyatt reward points even though I booked thru Hotels.com but that never happened. Finally at 4:30 went to see if they had a room ready since we never received a text and was guaranteed to be ready by 4pm. I was told that our room just got finished. After spending so much money to stay there two nights it was definitely a disappointment.

It is an amazing place for a family to enjoy their vacation, it has a full-equipped kitchen, and its environment is pretty perfect. If we have enough budget, we will be willing to stay more longer.

Overall good stay, amazing property landscape. Rooms can get very noisy if you end up on bottom floor with guest overhead. Woke up both days to overhead guest activity, seemingly just thinly built floor separations. Would stay again, just not on bottom floor with guest overhead
Restaurant was great, great staff, good service.

10/10 property. The front desk agents were super accommodating. I had flowers ordered to the hotel and they set everything up perfectly. I proposed to my now fiance. It couldn’t have gone any better. Will definitely be coming back once a year. Absolute amazing experience!
