XLR8 Ranch Tours and Activities

We arrived in the late afternoon by rental car. While the property provided notice that the main entrance was inaccessible, finding the actual entrance and parking area was challenging for first-time visitors unfamiliar with the area. Clearer arrival instructions would have been helpful. Unfortunately, the guest experience went downhill from there. From the moment we arrived, the staff appeared more focused on ending their shift than assisting guests. After a long flight, we were looking forward to relaxing by the pool, which was advertised as open. However, we were informed that the pool was already closed and that it closes at sunset. This restriction was not disclosed during booking, making it a disappointing surprise. Rather than offering alternatives or helpful information about the property and surrounding area, staff interactions felt rushed and dismissive. The room itself was clean and attractive, but noise was a significant issue. Early the next morning, we were awakened by a child screaming in the hallway, with the sound amplified by the hard flooring and echoing throughout the corridor. It highlighted why many hotels choose carpeted hallways to reduce noise transmission. Overall, the property provided a place to sleep for the night, but little beyond that. Between the lack of helpful service, unexpected amenity restrictions, and noise issues, it did not deliver the experience we expected. Unfortunately, it is unlikely that I would choose to stay here again.
