    Our stay was excellent, until the last 15 minutes, which completely changed my impression of this…read morehotel. Before our arrival, I called on Tuesday and spoke with Erika, who was incredibly kind and understanding. I explained that we were traveling to town for the funeral of a childhood friend. When we checked in, I explained the situation again to the front desk associate, who was also very courteous. The hotel was clean, the room was comfortable, and everything started off wonderfully. We paid for a late checkout. Although it was a holiday weekend and the hotel could only extend it until 2pm instead of the usual 3pm., that was completely understandable and not an issue. I again explained that I would be attending funeral services about 45 minutes away in Cedar Creek, where I would have little to no cell service. My husband would remain at the hotel with our two young children, a 3-year-old and our 4-month-old baby--until I returned so we could leave together. I arrived back at the hotel at approximately 2:10pm and immediately went to the front desk. I explained that I had just returned from the funeral and only needed five minutes to change out of my dress into comfortable clothes before my family and I got on the road. The front desk associate and, I believe, the manager assured me that was fine that they will let housekeeping know. When I got to the room, I discovered that at 2:05 p.m.--just five minutes after our late checkout time--a staff member had already called the room, and my husband and our two small children had been asked to leave. They were standing outside the hotel with all of our luggage, our toddler, and our infant, waiting for me. That was incredibly upsetting. The hotel staff knew exactly why we were there. They knew we had paid for a late checkout. They knew I was attending a funeral and that I was returning as quickly as I could. Yet there was absolutely no grace, compassion, or consideration shown to my family. Five minutes after checkout, despite knowing the circumstances, my husband and children were already being ushered out of the room. That level of disregard was disappointing and unnecessary. To make matters worse, when I asked if I could quickly use a restroom to change, I was told there wasn't one available in the lobby. I was then sent back to the room we had just vacated, where three housekeepers were already cleaning it. It was a standard room with two queen beds--not a large suite--and I only needed a few minutes to change clothes before leaving. I've worked in hospitality myself and hold a bachelor's degree in Hospitality Management, so I understand the importance of turning rooms over quickly, especially during a full holiday weekend. What I don't understand is the complete lack of empathy and basic courtesy shown to my family during an already difficult day. It's unfortunate that an otherwise wonderful stay was overshadowed by how we were treated at the very end. A few minutes of patience and compassion would have made all the difference. Instead, my lasting memory is of my struggling husband, with our frazzled toddler, and our sobbing four month old infant - standing disheveled against the wall outside with all of our belongings. IMMEDIATELY, after I spoke with front desk; upon returning from a funeral. The contradiction of hospitality in those moments was unnecessary, and left a very sour ending to an already terrible and emotional morning. I wasted time and energy being sent back to do exactly what was agreed upon, in a far more uncomfortable way. All I needed in that moment as a grieving and post partum mother was: a small crumb of peace and compassion. Yet, we were met with disregard. I'm absolutely furious. I'm patiently waiting on your response, looking forward to hearing back from you promptly.

    If I could leave a 0 I would. I can say the suite with a balcony is not a dedicated balcony. The…read moremaid closet is right there outside our window and door. They came to get there cleaning supplies moved the table and chairs making noise woke us up. Not cool. The room wasn't actually cleaned. The floor was filthy the toilet seat was broken if you had cleaned the room or even checked it you would have noticed this. I filed a CORPORATE COMPLAINT WITH HEADQUARTERS and they did nothing since I didnt speak to management. Why they dont have another sweet especially didnt have a balcony. I couldnt stay anywhere else as my mom was staying here as well for her upcoming surgery. There was nothing the property management could have done! But what you can do is not advertise a suite with a balcony that you dont have the suite is cold and univiting. DO NOT STAY HERE!

    My app wasn't working in the Show Low area for some reason, so I had to call the Choice Hotels…read moretoll-free number to set up my reservation. THAT was the most unpleasant hotel reservation experience I ever had. But as it turned out, the hotel was great. Polite and efficient front desk staff, a very comfortable bed, and a shower with excellent water pressure. Then in the morning, an adequate breakfast. What more could one ask for? If you come to the area, I recommend this property over the other Choice Hotel properties in the area. I'd tried the others in the past and found them lacking. This hotel is well run.

The only saving grace was the front desk staff, June and Brendon, who were very polite and did what they could to help. However, the management and housekeeping are non-existent. My room was disgustingly dirty at check-in. The bed comforter was soiled, and the bathtub drain was completely clogged with hair from a previous guest. When I reported it, I was told housekeeping was too busy. Brendon at the front desk actually had to come up and clean the drain himself just so I could take a bath. The rest of the room was never cleaned, even after a housekeeper directly promised me she would handle it. On top of the filth, there is a major security risk: the side door to the parking lot that requires a key card was left wide open and unlocked my entire stay. The hallways were also filthy. To top it off, they fraudulently overcharged my bank card an extra $50 after promising a flat $25 fee. I am currently working with guest relations to rectify the problem I will update this is the solution is to my satisfaction. In the meantime, avoid this place at all costs. It's disgusting.

There are 2 areas to fish from. They have a Jon Boat, peddle boat, and kayaks that are available for free on a first come/first served basis but only during office hours 9-4pm. There is a bigger boat for rent but it was broken. There were lots of trees and shade which we liked. We stayed in the Ash cabin. It was not great. It is old. The "comfort zones" which we later found out were heaters were on and set to 80° when we arrived. It was very warm inside when we arrived and we didn't figure out until too late that we were turning the heaters down to cool things off not off. There were no manuals to help instruct us on temperature control and we had to text the after hours number to get help. It took 2+ days to cool this place down. They encouraged us to open windows at night but not many of the windows (none upstairs) had screens. There is no cooling unit upstairs but they brought us some box fans which didn't help much. The plumbing upstairs was slow and had to be snaked because the sink wouldn't drain. Fridge took some time to cool down but then worked fine. Couches are worn and you sink down into them. We read that every cabin has a fireplace but ours didn't which was disappointing. There was 1 smart tv. We tried to log into Disney but someone else was already logged in. Tried uninstalling and reinstalling but then the TV needed a pin that we didn't have. WiFi worked well. The kitchen was clean and had what we needed. The blinds are dusty. We probably wouldn't stay here again unless there were some significant updates.

    This is a beautiful and enjoyable place to stay! The cabins are very cute and clean. Gorgeous lake…read moreview!! Very well managed. We enjoyed a 3 night stay and are looking forward to visiting again. Very peaceful and everyone is so friendly and the resort is dog friendly which is a huge plus!! Nothing but great things to say! Thank you for a wonderful stay!!
