While it is promoted as being a Frank Lloyd Wright-designed compound, the man evidently only had a passing acquaintance with the place. It may have been a very cool design a hundred years ago, but today it is more like a prison for free fee-paying adults who buy the promotional BS. The concrete block compound is a surreal place with exceptionally high prices on mediocre food and drink with less than stellar housekeeping. There was mold in our shower, lights didn't work, the wood surfaces in our room had buckled from "overuse," and our patio door wouldn't lock ~ in short NOTHING worked and we were paying big bucks for the privilege of suffering these inadequacies. It was awful.
There's nothing quite like checking into an expensive room in the desert after a long, hot trip and finding a note on the large bottle of water on the bureau - drink me and it will cost you $8 - no freebies here! Oh - I forgot the "complimentary" shuttle that cost $12 each way to go just outside the gates. What a joke. DON'T GO!!
