I booked a room with river view, but when I checked in, the staff said I had to pay extra $80 for a room with river view! That is ridiculous, totally unacceptable!

To our pleasant surprise, we were given a room along the raging Merced River that had a fireplace and a large area out the back right along the river. It was beautiful and appreciated having the option to dine right there in the restaurant!

It would be cool if there were golf carts who could take you from one end of the property to the other end. We were attending a wedding and booked rooms at different times so some family members were too far away. Room cleaning knocked on our door at 10 am when check out is 11 am and we were in the middle of getting ready for the wedding.
