| - We stayed here over the weekend because we had friends throwing a pool party there and wanted to take advantage of the cheap room rates and treat ourselves to a little staycation.
We had fun down by the pool until the outdoor bar closed and were forced to deal with the inside bartender who, and I mean this in THE NICEST way possible, had the demeanor of a wet dishrag...
Hey Guy! You work in a bar! Where people go to forget their troubles...put on a happy face, make some eye contact and pretend to be in a good mood when you charge me $5 for a regular-sized can of Bud Light and $10 for a 'frozen' strawberry daiquiri full of large ice chunks. I'll pay for expensive drinks if the atmosphere is right...but I'm not going to pay for that nonsense if you're just going to bring my buzz down. I can be bummed out, drink a bottle of wine and watch depressing Lifetime movies*** on my couch if that's the kinda service you're peddling! No gracias!
Next stop...the room...
Okay, so the rooms have OBVIOUSLY seen better days, the a/c is a noisy unit in the corner of the room...was it a/c? was it a swamp cooler? i'll never know...(welcome to 2011...let's start thinking about central air...)
Kudos to the front desk guy for remembering to waive the resort fee based on the coupon/code/whatever thingy we used to book the room.
Unfortunately, you get ZERO (or maybe even NEGATIVE ONE) kudos for not mentioning that the $25 dining credit is only good for the night you check in, not for breakfast the next morning. Our room DID have a lovely view though, and it was very peaceful and relaxing once we turned off the noisy a/c unit.
Bonus: The rooms have mini-fridges...
Minus: The miniature freezer had about 6 years worth of ice growing inside of it.
Plus: They have alarm clocks
Minus: The person who set our alarm clock was living in some weird distant future where I'm supposed to be jarred awake at 3:30 in the morning.
HUGE PLUS (And this is why they get 3 stars instead of 2)...they removed all of the feathers from the room like I requested when I made the reservation...this may not seem like much, but considering my dismal stay at the Scottsdale Resort & Conference Center when my a/c at the house went out (AGAIN)...but I digress. That's all...seriously.
(Note: Due to my (still) hostile feeling about SRCC, I am waiting until I simmer down to write their review)
***Disclaimer: I do not watch Lifetime movies...depressing or otherwise...
