"Beautiful hotel, but our resort view room stared out at a bottom floor bed of rocks and you couldn't see anything else so that wasn't worth the money. The beds were not comfortable in. The food was not great in the restaurant, but the ambience and the hotel itself is amazing."

"The room was clean and updated with comfortable beds and pillows. The breakfast was very good. However, access to the property is difficult. The turn off the main road is a sharp turn with a steep hill and then you have to drive through the narrow, crowded Texas Roadhouse parking lot."
