For the last weekend of summer rates, my honey and I stayed at the Biltmore and purchased the Ocatilla package. It was a separate building that had a separate lounge that offered different amenities during the day. It is also included GC's to Frank and Albert's and Wright's.
Pros:
-Easy to check in and out
-Allowed for early check in
-Self parking
-Food @ Wright's (lamb and tartare was delish)
-Pool open 24 hours
Cons:
-Guest rep at check in was asked to book the reservation for our dinner @ Wright's...didn't do it
-The food and drink options were limited and average at the Ocatilla lounge
-The chairs against the tile in the lounge sounded horrific
-customer service was so below average t the Ocatilla lounge. No skim milk, no real "Full continental breakfast"
-Dinner @ Wrights, my guy had a scorpion crawl up his leg and killed it right before dessert. The server and manager made excuses, was sorry but not REALLY sorry. They comped the souffle but was a little uneasy with their response
-elevator in Ocatilla building was a hot box - felt like a thousand degrees
-Could not accommodate late check out
Based on the list above...I would not have another staycation here.
