While the property itself was beautiful, there were a few key points that left us disappointed overall. Firstly, for the price per night I was expecting a bit more of a welcome experience. When we arrived, it was not clear where to go to unload our luggage or check-in. We stopped out front in the circle and did not see any signage or have anyone come out so we circled around, called the front desk, and learned we would unload our own bags and park ourselves in the parking garage, then come up to check-in. Not a major deal but with a 5-star rating and price, it seemed a little underwhelming as an initial impression. The second note was there is no bar in the hotel. Again, not a major deal, but after traveling all day from another state, then driving in from Seattle, we were looking forward to a nice glass of wine on our balcony. I don’t remember seeing anywhere on the website that there was no bar onsite, nor was it mentioned at check-in, so figuring it out once we were settled in for the night was a bit frustrating. We found a local champagne store and paid a pretty penny for a standard bottle to enjoy the following evening. The final note was the main areas were scorching warm in the afternoon once the sun hit. I imagine it would be nice in the winter, but the restaurant and lounge areas are not air conditioned so enjoying a snack or meal, or even relaxing in the afternoon was super uncomfortable. |Now for the positivities, the location was perfect and the rooms were beautifully appointed. We did not use the pool/sauna facilities but did have a couples massage that my husband said was the best he’s ever had. The adults only aspect was appreciated and the hotel felt very peaceful. If we were to return we would be better equipped with some key information and think we would enjoy the stay much more a second time around.
