Room was great. I asked the staff about the on-site/golf course side bar/restaurant and what kind of food did they serve. He was 100% wrong. At that point it would be better to say you don't know rather than give a wrong answer. We were fine and this didn't affect our stay or satisfaction at all.

I arrived at 8.45pm (Sun) to check in. There was a security gate, I pressed all the codes and called the numbers, nothing. After 20 minutes a home owner came out and punched in the code for me. I arrived at the Lobby at 9.10pm, the lights were off and the door was locked. After 10 minutes, I tracked down a security guard, he opened the door and said, I’m not expecting anyone this evening. I showed him my reservation and he looked and found my paperwork. 35 minutes after arriving I got into my room. I went to the Lobby the next morning at 9.08am and again the door was locked and no one was around. I tried to cancel my 3rd night a few days before my arrival. Hotels.com told me to speak with the Hotel and the Hotel told me speak with Hotels.com. I was dealing with the Reservations Manager, he did nothing to help me resolve this. On Tuesday morning the receptionist told me I had been left two voice messages, I was playing golf at Bighorn and the reception was horrible, so I did not get those messages. Julian did say he he had managed to call Hotels.com to cancel my 3rd night, but at this time, I have heard nothing and as far as I can work out, I have been charged for all 3 nights. A little frustrating to say the least.

This is mostly a retirement community complex. Not many families unless renting one of the units. It's better suited for someone that has multiple people staying and wants appliances to cook and eat in. Room is dated and in need of renovation.
