Winding down on a Friday to Friday stay in one of their 2 bedroom condos. Ample sized living room / dining room downstairs with bathroom and kitchen. Closet and gas fireplace downstairs as well.
Upstairs is a full bathroom with jacuzzi and huge master bedroom (with queen bed) with gas fireplace again. 2nd bedroom has two twin beds.
Pro's:
Price, quiet location, fireplaces keep you toasty warm, Cable channels & HBO in bedrooms, short drive to attractions, full kitchen with dishes etc. Coffee maker, ice maker with lots of quick ice! Back patio with table / chairs. Huge master bedroom! Pull out sofa in the living room. The HVAC keeps the unit toasty warm in the winter. No restriction to heat that I found. The ladies in the office (rec center) are absolutely wonderful, and very helpful.
Con's:
Furniture is very uncomfortable to sit on for any length of time. Forget about sitting on the pull out sofa. The TV's are all wired up with cable boxes with IR repeaters, and it's all a joke. Remotes do not function correctly, and the wiring is a disaster in the back of the TV's. The pull out is about as comfortable as you'd expect - not very. Nobody shovels the back patio, and they won't give you a shovel to use. I suppose if I wanted to use the back patio, maintenance would come out to shovel, but I didn't ask. Not enough dishtowels in the kitchen. The toilet is actually loose from the floor in the downstairs bathroom. The beds all have those modern "thin" sheet / blankets on the bed, and the office is hesitant to give you any actual blankets to keep warm with. The master bedroom needs a chair, a king bed, and perhaps some additional furniture. It's very barren for the size. I'd also like to see the TV wall mounted and adjustable. It's on a table at the foot of the bed 8 ft. away so you can't really see if when in bed. The internet service here is a joke. None of the kids could stay connected. We paid an extra $8 fee for the "Preferred" WiFi. The signal strength is great, but the speed is an absolute joke. Speed test shows 1.42 Mbps DL speed on "Complimentary" WiFi, and 6.85 Mbps DL speed on the "Preferred" WiFi. The pipe is not even large enough to load a page on Google Maps. The plumbing is VERY loud - specifically, when the toilet is flushed upstairs, you can't hear much of anything else downstairs. The dishwasher is extremely loud as well. The toilets flush very long and slow, but this must be a septic mound thing. I have no idea, as I have a house on city water / sewer.
Final thoughts:
The unit we stayed in is one of four side by sides that all share the same 6-8 parking spaces out front of the building. Staff coming and going double park these spaces all the time. Tuesday, there were 3 different staff vehicles taking up 7 parking spots mid-day. I was the only person renting a unit, and could not even park in front of the building. I found this completely unbelievable! Also, the staff enters and exits the empty rentals by slamming doors and yelling at each other. Very LOUD!
The rec center has a game room, but half the games are out of order, and the pool table is a joke. The cloth needs to be replaced, and the rails are loose, resulting in poor bounce. Don't waste your time.
In fairness, we were here in February, and were just looking for a getaway where we were planning to spend time "indoors". Many people likely rent these units and only use them as crash pads, thus spending most of their time at the attractions. Fair enough. read more
