I could not get an ADA room it did not have it at the check in. Spent 1 hour to find a room with 2 beds Bathroom was not ADA. The lift to the hot tub and pool did not work. Again the pool and hot tub lift was not available just like my Sacramento. It seems I always have hotel problems regarding ADA rooms and lift. It been so bad my experience with Expedia. Third party has a lot of disadvantages

Nice place

Check in was great, John was super friendly..room was nice and spacious.. the breakfast was disappointing and we would have stayed a second night however the price jumped $100 for the same room which is mind boggling wanted to spend more time in the area but due to that price increase that wasn’t gonna happen
