Prior to our arrival, we received calls indicating that the resort's systems were down and were asked to provide payment information in advance to streamline check-in. However, when we followed up, multiple representatives seemed unaware of this request, resulting in long hold times, being transferred repeatedly, and ultimately needing to call back a second time to resolve the issue. Upon arrival, we were informed that early check-in would not be possible and were told they "hoped" to have a room ready by 4 PM. This uncertainty caused concern for our group, as we were in town for a graduation. Fortunately, we were able to check in approximately ten minutes before 4 PM. During our stay, we discovered that one of the pools was closed—a detail we were not made aware of beforehand. This led to overcrowding and significant noise at the pool near our room. Additionally, we encountered difficulties trying to make golf reservations. The phone system was unresponsive, and the text service redirected us to the same non-functional number. We ultimately had to visit the pro shop in person to secure a tee time. We also noticed that we had been double charged for taxes, which required a visit to the front desk to correct. While the issue was eventually resolved, it added another layer of inconvenience to our stay. Lastly, the sofa bed in our room was extremely uncomfortable, resulting in a poor night's sleep.

I have not booked through Expedia in a long time and this has been the worse experience. We were given an ADA room with an unsafe bathroom. The room I booked was suppose to have a washer and dryer and this room did not. The bathroom shower which was connect to the roller and sink did not drain and the water filled the entire room. The wall to wall tile was stained and dirty. While at the pool other guests had bowel movements in the pool then on the spa. Feces was left on the floor in which a friend stepped in. Expedia did not get what I booked. Very disappointed. Hyatt and Expedia won’t be on my list next time. Awful experience overall. Don’t book through Expedia because this resort won’t give you what is listed. My daughters soccer jersey didn’t get washed.

I asked for a room with a view and instead I got a basement room with view of tree trunks.. The room was spacious with full appliances which was nice. Upon arrival the kitchen nook seats were filthy, that really turned me off. The shower drain was clogged, which was disgusting.

We loved our stay up until the last night. The people above us were so rude and it sounded like they were dragging furniture back and forth on the floor. Additionally all the little poppers from the Fourth of July they threw down all over our patio along with sun flower seeds. Housekeeping was hit or miss. Sometimes they would show up when they were supposed to but most of the time I would have to call multiple times. Other than that, the resort was great.

Beautiful property. The pool was fun as well as the waterslide. My kids were entertained the whole time. We loved the big fire pit right outside the pool area to make s'mores. The room rates through Expedia were affordable and worth it. The weather was great. Not too hot and still cool in the evening. We also enjoyed the events within the downtown area. A lot of space with restaurants and coffee within walking distance. The employees are very sweet and accommodating. Except for one. I don't know her name but she was an attendant at the mountain view pool. Dark hair slicked into a ponytail, make up done with cat eyes and eye shadow, she never smiled, and had a bad attitude. The rooms are very clean, except the shower wall needs to be cleaned each time someone checks out. The room was amazing. Like our own apartment. One room big bathroom and shower, desk area, nice living room with a fully stocked kitchen and dining area. Outside tables with bbq's is great. The balcony was great as well with a beautiful view of the sunset above the hills. I'm glad we get a room dancing west.
