Reviewed By WorldTravelerTomCheck in wasn't very smooth. There was an issue with my reservation dates and seemed to be too much for the check in staff to handle. Had to return later to involve a manager to resolve. I was told I could return as often as I'd like to obtain the small bottles of water, however on one particular day again seemed like it was too much for the front desk staff to handle like it was a bother for them. Had inquired with concierge about the schedule of activities that were on a calendar of events at the resort that was provided to us upon check in because it would indicate times but not locations, however the concierge wasn't even aware of the schedule so had no idea of the activities or their locations so we never did find Bingo. Was always wondering if the other things were going on. Upon check out there was an issue with my bill as far as inappropriate/inaccurate charges, however again was too much for the front desk to handle and they requested that I email and or call back later to discuss to resolve. I have since emailed and am still awaiting resolution. Highly recommend some serious training in customer service for front desk personnel and or have a manager on site out front that knows what they are doing to assist with these issues. We were only there for 3-nights/4-days and although it did rain the first day we still enjoyed as much as we could of all of the resort's and local area amenities going to the pool/jacuzzi, going hiking and biking, eating at all of the restaurants on site, and most importantly the best experience spending an afternoon at the spa. Was disappointed that the the pool side bar and restaurants were not open very often or very long. Was disappointed that the coffee shop was closed down for renovations. Was disappointed at the very high prices of the the restaurants at the resort. I understand the pool was supposed to be heated but it obviously was not. It was freezing cold. Spent most time in jacuzzi as did everyone else. Understand the water slide was supposed to be open certain hours of the day but was not and was later told could ask someone to open it up if we wanted to use it. It also appeared that there was a serious challenge with lack of staffing. For example we made a reservation at Six Peaks as we were directed to do saying they were booked so had to squeeze us in late, however when we arrived there that evening we appeared to be the only ones in the main dining area. The bartender was the hostess and the waitress.

Blood stained comforter and horrible manager named Gabriel
Reviewed By junetao176TLDR: Dirty comforter with bloodstain (!!), dirty toilet, clogged bathtub, couldn't sleep for multiple nights due to bedroom fan and living room AC not working. Report the issues and didn't even get a 'I'm sorry' from the manager Gabriel. Instead I got his attitude and fake charges on my bill. We didn't even ask to speak with the manager, but Gabriel called twice and were extremely curt and rude. I've been a long-time customer and had stayed over many times before. Employees like manager Gabriel is the reason I will never stay at the village again. Front desk person Tori and Silvia were helpful, but 'management' personnel like Gabriel and horrific housekeeping is unacceptable. For example, when housekeeping came to give the replacement comforter, it was literally dumped on the coffee table instead of leaving it in the bedroom. When we checked out, Silvia agreed that we would be refunded 2 nights of the resort fee (out of 3 nights) for inconvenience like having no electricity in the middle of the night. And yet, our credit card was still charged the full 3 nights of resort fee. This is a shady business practice that requires me to waste more of my time to get my money back.

Wedding Guest
Reviewed By Getaway233306This unique inn is the exception when it comes to hospitality. We really enjoyed our stay.while attending a family wedding. The suite was spacious and we had plenty of seating. Our bed was very comfortable and we slept well in a quiet room. It is conveniently located next to Olympic Village with shops and additional dining. No car needed as Olympic Village is just across the street. The outdoor wedding couldn't have been more beautiful, and the banquet hall and conferance center were sophisticated with a rustic vibe. Loved it!
