| - Spring Training stay with hubby and 13 month old
This is a do it yourself, be on your own hotel, what I mean is after check in you're pretty much on your own
As a mom when I think vacation I think other people doing the work, not the case
After checking in you get back in your car, drive down the hill, locate your room, then unload and carry in your bags
We brought our own play pen and highchair since we've experienced issues in the past, we requested a fridge and booked a single king room
The room was spacious although the hallways were a bit musty
FYI this hotel does NOT have tubs in any of its rooms so we had to shower with our little guy
After unpacking we decided we wanted to go out to eat and check out the hotel layout, the only options on the property were the pool grill or top of the rock resturant, what we found was an outdoor bar you could order food at while drunks smoke cigars a table away from you and a restaurant that is not child friendly and pricey
We ended up at top of the rock and after 15 minutes the restaurant was able to scrounge up a highchair, the food was decent, hubby had the steak (which I thought tasted like liquid smoke) and I had the pot roast which still had string on it and served with veggies drenched in sauce, they didn't have an actual kids menu but the waitress was able to get us a small serving of mac n cheese and fruit for our little guy
We ordered room service for breakfast, decent price and yummy and ate at the buffet another morning, buffets a better deal at $16 with an omelette and waffle bar
We went to the pool around 6pm, it was dead and the water was freezing, the jacuzzis are nice but you feel like a mountain goat running up and down the hillside to get to them or your towels
On the way back from a game a staff member flagged us down and offered us a ride back up the hill, on the ride he mentioned they do it all day during Spring training, although it was the first time hearing about it
The fact the stadium is within walking distance is about the only thing that would get me to stay here again
They should really consider a more family friendly dining option (even if its just seasonal)
