Good location. Our two queen room was spacious. No microwave. Bathroom, bedroom and sitting area were outdated and not well maintained (outlets and faucet wall covers were partially loose, the popcorn ceiling looked neglected with dust nests etc.). Food at Reef (on site pool bar and restaurant) was good, as was the service. Reception asked for $ 25.00 for our canine companion while thye Expedia info stated that there was no dog fee, odd. In summary not worth $ 250/ night.

Centrally located to both ends of the valley

Adorable property with a tiki bar open late, who could ask for more. The check is was easy and friendly and there is plenty of parking. The room was fine if a little rough around the edges. Very clean but worn.

Neat place needs a little TLC🙂

The good: excellent pool, great hot tub, tiki bar, housekeeping, happy hour drinks and food. Has lots of charm and history (Elvis used to hang out there). Best Mai Tai I’ve ever had Needs improvement; tv didn’t work, toilet seat was broken, refrigerator needed to be defrosted, coffee machine lid broken, heater did not work, shower dispensers needed to be refilled. Overall a neat place. Just needs a little TLC. Jay the motorcycle mechanic bartender was awesome!
