It starts with check-in you arrive in between talking and texting on their cell phones, they hand you a key card and tell you your bungalow is at the end of the street. No hello and welcome no welcome package no map no this is what we have going on during your stay, no this where the pool is, and we serve breakfast and lunch there, no nothing. I figure the welcome package must be in the room. Find our bungalow get in no welcome package So later Sunday when when we got back to the room at 4pm no house keeping. No fresh water no replacements for coffee or tea no replacement tissue no trash pick-up, nothing. I had developed a cold during our travels. All the trash cans were full, very small trash cans. She heads to front desk to complain about no housekeeping. When she brought up the water tea coffee and tissue. They walked away filled a garbage bag and said here. Now it’s between 12am and 1am and we’ve been woken up by heavy equipment operating outside our window and in the vineyard. No heads up that this would be occurring. I didn’t realize that when you booked a hotel room that you had to specify that you wanted to be able to sleep between the hours of 12am and 4am. That’s when they finally stoped. When we brought up the issue of the equipment running outside of our room that evening. They said she could not do anything since we booked through Expedia. Expedia can you please help us?

Great small bungalow resort

This is a great smaller property with great views from every room. Very quiet, private and with easy access to wineries nearby. The sister property is very close and both properties have a tasting room to enjoy. The food choices are a bit smaller here, but you can easily shuttle 3 minutes to South Coast Winery and Resort for a wonderful meal in their great restaurant or patio. Would definitely stay here again.

This is always a lovely property to stay at. Spacious, comfortable and quiet. Pool area is small but nice with great view. The room is nice and bathroom with tub is great. This yime i could not get hot water in the shower (stayed warm, not hot) but the bath tub was really hot so that was great. I would stay here again.

Property as a whole was inviting and nicely done and kept. The pool area although small, was also nice and no charge for the cabanas! Pool nice and clean. No housekeeping at all in pool area-no towels, dirty glasses etc. for both days we visited and I had to go walking around to try to find someone in housekeeping to get towels. Room was nice, clean-but starting to feel dated and carpet was rolling up in center of floor and patio door needed maintenance. No microwave in room. Wasn't bad...but won't stay here again with all the options in Temecula.

Disappointing but

We did not get checked in until 6:20. It was a complete circus at the reception desk. Rooms weren’t ready. Staff was very apologetic. I didn’t realize that I had a Murphy bed for almost $400 per night. Rooms are dated. I woulda’t stay here again.
