Planning perspective

What to consider before reaching out

A strong first conversation is about fit, not just availability. Share your date, approximate guest count, location, and the feeling you want the day to have. Ask what is included, what typically changes the final quote, and what decisions need to be made earliest.

For a hotel rooms partner, confirm how communication works, who will be present on the day, and how the team handles changes. Pricing was not included in the supplied research, so request a current, itemized proposal directly from the business.

Stayed in one of the larger suites, it was huge but the bed was uncomfy. Condition of the property overall is rundown - dirty and unmaintained. The AC unit in the room made a continual screeching sound that woke us up every time it came on during the night. When we asked the front desk, they were dismissive and said it was a problem they’d tried fixing before, unsuccessfully, and there was nothing they could do. The pool seemed cool for a certain use case, and the location was good, but paying $800 for 2 nights…ouch.

This is an outdated motel, not a resort by any stretch of the imagination. I’m confident that any Best Western or Holiday Inn would’ve provided a better experience at a lower price point.

The cleanliness of the room was questionable, there were crumbs everywhere and some mysterious items on the floor. Worst of all is the room REEKED of cigarettes. It was so strong that we ...

Such a great view of the mountain and good amenities, there’s an indoor and outdoor pool , hot tub, and tennis court. The staff is so attentive and accommodating. My family was staying all together and wanted to eat in the common room, Michael was so nice and even put on some music for us. The young woman at the front desk counter was very sweet also.

Upon arrival my room was not ready. Was told that 2 housekeepers had walked out 2 days earlier. Upon finally getting into my room after a 40 minute wait I found ants on kitchen counter and fridge door would not close. I reported this to Michael who was the only saving grace of this experience. Was moved to another room which had no soap, no towels. Also 1/2 of an ice cream cup and 1/2 of a sub sandwich left in fridge. In the bathroom a light blanket was tacked up on part of the window instead of a window blind. Stained furniture. And a knob fell off a cabinet when I opened the drawer. I went to the pool. The paint is all peeling. And as for breakfast! There was only one juice selection. No m...

We stayed in a King Room, it was very comfortable and spacious. The staff were incredibly friendly and helpful. The breakfast is simple and delicious! Absolutely no complaints and we will definitely bring staying here again.

An estimate for planning, not live traffic. Leafy weekends in October always take longer.
