The rooms are very nice. The A/C is a bit noisy, but the room is clean and beautiful. We asked for a floor level with no stairs and our car is right outside our door. Check in was a breeze. We went to a concert to see Fortunate Sun Tribute Band and it was great.

Liked: Cleanliness

Rooms were very nice, staff was grumpy!!! Especially front desk was not warm or welcoming but rather cold and irritated. One of the pools was closed for renovations and our room was right next to the pool. Not only was it a surprise the pool was closed, construction woke us up at a crisp 7am. There are no food or beverage services at the pool that was open during the week. All this information should be clearly advertised. There should be transparency when booking. If you claim to have poolside services let people know they are only available on the weekends.

Missed the mark.

So the accommodations were a bit aged, not that big a deal, but were were some issues. A resort like this advertises certain amenities. When you advertise them, I expect them to work, it’s basic stuff. I booked here because it was a good deal and because I made plans to utilize the amenities. It started with the first room I was in having completely unreliable and unusable WiFi. This is not an acceptable outcome, especially in this day and age. There’s no reliable cell service there in the mountains. So not having a reliable line to the outside world when I’m running a business is not acceptable. I shouldn’t have to change rooms to address this, but thats what had to happen. Then I invited family over for dinner my last night there, we planned to do a barbecue at one of the many barbecues you “make available” for guest use. The ones by my building were out of propane. The ones by the two adjacent buildings were out of propane. I had to drag my food two buildings over to the one barbecue that half worked to cook for my family guests who almost left hungry. I called front desk to address the propane in the grills by our building, and we were there waiting for two hours even after I cooked two buildings over after not being able to wait anymore. Maintenance never showed up. Not the level of customer service I expect from a Hyatt resort. Really a disappointment. Can rely on advertised amenities being available. To boot the trash from the neighbors was left out front and torn.
