Just passed the Penitentiary, through the golden wheat fields, you come across an unassuming resort that resembles a Visitor's Center or small casino. For $500 bucks a night we had a great view of the parking lot and some distant Silos. We made our way to the pool,.... for some relaxation and.. it was closed for maintenance. Sauna, spa, or Jacuuzi? No. The pond / slash man-made lake / lagoon, resembles a Manure managing pond found at local dairies. But you can sign your life away and access their paddle boards to go in tight little circles around it. They had mountain bikes up front, but no one told us where we could go on those. Beautiful dinning room and bar, but those were closed as well (Early August). One staff member on site making his rounds the best that he could, going from the check-in area, to the bar, to different parts of the facility, trying the best that he could to be a good host. He wore many hats; wine tasting expert, yoga instructor, masseur perhaps. And at 20 years old he probably had mastered every technique. But he didn't really seem like he wanted to be there. I could go on and on, but this was a huge disappointment to us. We had normal expectations but should have read the reviews. Landscaping needs work, someone needs to be answering the phone and they also would benefit (we would benefit) by having a Business Center. I typically need to step away to make a call or send an email. But there is really nowhere you can go to take care of quick business. Apparently they have two wineries associated with this resort (Shouldn't be called a resort) but no one puts a drink in your hand and highlights the wines. Literally have had better stays at Best Western, etc. Definitely much better welcoming at Hyatt, Radisson, etc. There is no catering-to here. There is no warm, welcoming feeling. There is a cluster of nice rancher style homes a block or two away, and we joked that we should have brought our camper and just hung out in that neighborhood. Or camped at the twin Silos. We vacation and travel a lot. But I was very upset as you can tell. Apparently this place opened in 2018 and I highly doubt we will see this place around in a few years if some big changes aren't made. Staff is very over worked. We were helping set the table for our own breakfast and helping clean up. We felt like an imposition, but only because they were stressed. read more
