Got a good rate compared to others for the Mr's 30th High School reunion. Alas with the good rate also goes the "priceline" location. If you use priceline you know what I am talking about- the room next to the stairs or ice machine with a view of roof air conditioners. In this case we did not use priceline- just a group code so we were in the very corner of the terrace building with a view of the street. The room was nice and the bed very comfortable, there were quite a few stains on the carpet though and my standard bathtub at home is larger than the tub in the room.
I think priceline and the rooms at the local casinos have spoiled me! For 1/3 of the price we paid here you get waay better there. I would not pay full price to stay here, especially now that I can cross it off my list of places to see.
The terrace building kind of reminds me of the old melrose place show, it has it's own little pool. There are a lot of pools on the property, I thought the Catalina pool which is all tile was the coolest, it has a fountain that separates the kid's side which is shallow (think 50's). The front desk said they call it the Marilyn Monroe pool because she always said that it was her favorite pool in the whole world.
Other posters mentioned tours but we were not advised of one. We went to the concierge and told them we wanted to learn more about this fabulous property so gave us a map and told us to wander, they even let us go into the "history room" which is a 2 story meeting room located on the 3rd floor with all of the history of the building of the property we thought that was the coolest!
The reunion was on the golf course next to the pro shop. All I have to say about the food is YUCK-O! They had green salad with 3 dressings and cold mushy penne pasta with red sauce.
Dis Gus TING!! The reunion was supposed to go to 11pm and they shut the bar down at 10pm. That actually was a smart thing to get the laggers moving on.
I don't get other yelpers complaining about "pool-hoppers" or non-paying guests at "their" pools. I didn't see over crowding at any of the pools nor as a guest was I told that we could only use the pool in our area. Do you really think people are going to pay $28 to park on property to pool hop? What you guys are saying seems weird to me.
