Charming room with a vineyard view

We were on a road trip from Colorado and decided to stay a night Temecula. We had a beautiful room that overlooked the vineyard. I do not recommend their sister resort, south Coast. We took their shuttle there for dinner, and staff was not as friendly as all of the other wineries, and the wine was not as good.

This is a great spot however, the showers are weird and this is literally what stood out in my mind when making decisions to stay there in the past. I was reminded again this morning of how strange they are. They even have instructions on the sleeve that they hand the room key out in. Unfortunately I had to question if I was dyslexic or not because the instructions work better in reverse, ha ha. Other than the showers, its a great place!

Used to be better

This is our second time staying. Since the last time they have done away with the free continental breakfast. The room did not seem extremely clean. There were cobwebs in the windows that had been there quite a while. Maid service never showed up for scheduled time. Had to request extra towels because we expected the room to be cleaned. We will look for other options going forward.
