We stayed here for a week beginning Sunday, Sept,18. After reading the reviews, we were concerned. Check in was quick and the lobby staff were nice. We parked and found our room. Yes it was outdated with blue carpet and weird prints on the wall but it was roomy and clean. Our room had a nice large balcony over looking the pool. The bathroom was nice and roomy however the lights were a bit dark when first turned on. The bed was firm, but we both slept great all week. The downfall in the room were the pillows: they sucked, but we still slept good. We ate at the Terrace Cafe, Charlies, and Trellises during our stay. Breakfast at the Terrace Cafe: we had the breakfast buffet a few times and thought the price was pretty good at $14.50. The cheese danishes were really good. We also had cafe mochas and hot chocolate and cookies at the little cafe in the evening, and service was always good. We had one lunch at Charlies and shared the burger sliders: nothing wow. We had read reviews about how great Trellises was, so our last morning we had breakfast. Very expensive: we thought our $30 buffet was a little high (for 2) but we spent close to $60 for 2 at Trellises. The selling point: we both had the eggs benedict and wow!!! they were great. Had a sticky bun, cheese danish, and juice/milk with both. Angelica was an awesome server. She was so funny and wonderful to be around. The grounds were amazingly beautiful. They should rename the resort the 'Rose Resort'. The pool was disappointing because we read it was heated: still way too cold for us, but the hot tub was something we enjoyed several evenings while there. Very close to the Fashion Valley Mall: right behind the resort with a quick walk. The trolley stop was also right behind and for two people who have trouble with public transit, we did very good. A bit of a warning: watch your bill carefully. They tried to overcharge us for parking and the internet bundle, but were quick to fix it. Overall a great resort.
