Wonderful hotel, friendly staff
We’ve stayed here several times before and it’s lovely. The one issue we had was being put in a handicapped accessible room, which meant there was no tub. The issue was the lack of a lip in the shower. Water was everywhere in the bathroom. We have 2 boys, 10 and 13. They get water everywhere. It required towels all over the floor in the bathroom. But other than that, the stay was lovely.

comfortable
It was on a trip to Descanso to celebrate Thanksgiving with my partner. And the room is amazing. Comfortable, with a panoramic view and a very beautiful view of the sunset and sunrise. We were amazed by the beauty that can be seen inside the room.

Horrible
The pool looked like it had not been cleaned in months. The pool itself has sunk maybe an inch leaving a tripping hazard the whole way around the pool that someone could trip on and cut their foot. We planned to take child to the pool but after getting to the pool we felt disgusted. We called the front desk a number of time and nobody answered the call. Very displeased with customer service definitely not worth the money we paid.

Good but could be better
Good hotel and friendly staff. It was an expensive stay at the hotel ($1200/2 nights in a twin). It's a good property but parts of the hotel are dated and on top of that they mixed up my laundry and I didn't receive it before I left. Thankfully the issue was resolved but it's still not great.

Lovely views.
Loved our room and the view of the river. We were there for a medical appointment and the view was very soothing when we got back from the hospital.

Not what I expected
Over charge. This way, the balcony view of the water was very little and the price I paid. I expected something way better. Overall, very upset
