This price point and reviews we expected better. Upon entering our villa 2 maintenance people were in our room and left without offering what they were doing or answered when we offered to come back later. On a 3 night stay we had 2 of the 3 dinner reservation issues and orders wrong with wilty lettuce, missing ingredients on orders and overcooked dry chicken sandwiches. Average dinner $32 for adult $16 for kids. The pool had A LOT of white floating maybe tissue but it was gross, 2 days. We were told they had lots of new trainees on the food line. We are flexible, not picky guests and this was a lot of error even for our liking, especially for $800 a night. Hopefully their communication and customer hospitality trainees learn quickly. We did like the creek through the property, the playground both indoor and outdoor for the kids. Overall a good time, but would stay at Tenaya next time.

Fun and practically designed hotel

The hotel rooms were so functional and thoughtfully designed. There were many shelves, towel rods, lots of countertop space, bins for your items and even a recycling bin in the room. It was nice to have games in the room and an Alexa. The amenities were great. Lots to do for little kids and big kids. The rec area was great, a huge game room with tree house inside. My kids loved the outdoor ziplines and steep slide and climbing wall in the back. Of course the heated pool was also wonderful.

We overall enjoyed our stay at Rush Creek but there are opportunities for improvement with communication between staff. There was a bit of a snafu with our poolside dinner reservation one evening and we were made to feel as if it was our fault. Turns out, it was a miscommunication between the staff. Several times when we asked questions, the staff was hesitant or unsure of the answers they were providing us or we got different answers depending on who we asked. More in depth training would go a long way to help your guests feel confident in the services provided.

Not at all worth the money.It's a $200 a night hotel that they are charging $800 a night for. They didn't even have complimentary water. I have stayed at 5 star hotels for $800 a night where you are treated like royalty, this was anything but that. It's a fancy Best Western for the price of the Ritz. Lame
