Carnelian Bay Vacation Packages

My first experience, after spending the entire day traveling, was not the best: hence, the "okay" rating. The elevator was dirty. The room was disappointing. First of all, I opened the drapes to see a cement wall with big pipes going this way and that. Next, I wanted to put my valuables into a safe. The safe was up on the top shelf of the closet. I couldn't reach it, so I turned over a waste basket and stood on it -not a good idea for a 76-year-old woman! Then, I used the older, wannabe Keurig machine, and the coffee and grounds splashed out everywhere! Finally, exhausted after unpacking, I decided to take a shower. The knob had pulled out from the wall, and I couldn't pull it further to start the water. Needless to say, I went to bed and went down to the front desk early in the morning. I was told that they would fix the safe and the faucet; however, there is no guarantee of a view when you book through Expedia. I could pay $34 more a night for a better room with a view. I DID! My room was SOOO much better; it was bigger, with a working new Keurig, a safe in the bureau, and a bathroom with the shower room and toilet separated from the vanity (unlike the tiny first bathroom where everything was together), and a working faucet. There were Keurig cups and waters in the room daily, and I had a beautiful view of the mountains. To sum up: my disappointing beginning turned into a very happy ending. Had this been my first room, I would simply have awarded 5 stars.

Unique character, great location by the riverwalk. Excellent coffee shop across the street and brew pub just around the corner facing the river

The property was beautiful. I want to return. A perfect time of year to visit if you’re not a skier. The only ding I can give the property is the television didn’t work in the main living area. Sharing a movie didn’t work out for that reason. I did go to the front desk and was told they would send someone immediately to figure it out. No one came. If you have to ask twice…well, why? Having to watch from the bedroom is not the same sitting on a bed. Not good on the back. Other than that everything was amazing. Very relaxing and peaceful.
