We've stayed here 6-7 times over the years and overall (except for the food, see below) it a wonderful place, an unexpected, unique discovery. The staff is friendly and professional, the rooms are spacious and very well appointed and the grounds are beautiful.
However, after being away for several years, there were some disappointing notes to our recent stay.
1) This place is expensive, they've now started charging separately for room and meals. While the rooms were great, the meals have taken a downturn. we had a dinner of polenta, greens and lamb chops. The veggies were very good but the lamb was well done, solid gray color. Being the centerpiece of the meal it was a definite downer. Anyone can take something off the grill earlier vs later.
The breakfast at CCR have always been great, still the best Huevos Rancheros I've ever had, those you could order along with several other dishes, plus they had some items in buffet dishes. Now it's all buffet and a terrible one at that. We came through about 30 minutes before the close of breakfast and got the dried up, crusty dregs. Several items were entirely gone. At these prices they should risk having food left over by continually refreshing the offerings.
The worst was the "french toast" and "hash browns". I was shocked that the french toast were little manufactured rectangles fresh out of the freezer, I tasted one out of curiosity and it was terrible. The hash browns were perfectly formed Sysco rectangles, mealy, no taste. If you want a better breakfast buffet, go to Holiday Inn Express.
2) also, while I can appreciate the up keep required on a property like this, they need to schedule it differently. You go to a place like this for peace and tranquility. My wife and I were reading by the lake at 8am and there was a guy running a leaf blower and a a huge excavator working on the hill behind us!
