    I started to book this hotel just because of the boat ride alone, but I will pass on this. Thank you so much, awesome review

    • @YellowProductions
      @YellowProductions  Před rokem

      Yeah. We really wanted to ride the boat too. Then found out we couldn't when we planned cause it only ran at night. Lame.

  • @ThanksForSubscribingWeLoveYou

    Love that place. Thanks for another great travel vid.

    You’re Awfully kind! 3 1/2 stars for poor service? poor staffing? uncomfortable room? Seriously overpriced? I wouldn’t have been quite so generous…

      Thanks for that perspective. I could be convinced to go lower.

    Oh my gosh! We went there for Spring Break from college back in the 90s! I can’t believe they still have the boats. It was an amazing resort back in its day. Now we frequent the Hyatt Indian Wells which is also showing its age…

    Thank you so much for your honesty in your reviews as it makes us trust them 100%!!! At first we thought “wow a great new hotel” when we saw the thumbnail and then said “we’ll never stay there” after your review. $600 a night or more you expect things to be repaired and properly working and better amenities for sure.
    I love how the Spunky Princess says “mmm” before each answer at the end. She gives us a little pause while she decides to answer or not it seems. Such a cutie!!!! Thanks to OC Girl for filming so well!! ❤

    I'm thinking 3 tophers for this place. Too many issues for the price! The AC is critical. I would have left if it was not fixed. VERY complete review. THANKS Chris!

    Very interesting to see this review. We have stayed at this Hotel back in 1995 when it was The Marriott Desert Springs, It was for a work convention. It was a nice hotel back then, very large and took over 10 minutes to get to our room from the lobby. I think the rooms look good with the update, but I agree with you still looks the same as it was back in 1995. Thanks Chris

    • @YellowProductions
      @YellowProductions  Před rokem +1

      Thanks for that perspective Colleen! Yeah. I'm sure it was really nice back in 1995

    Great info, Chris! I have had a drink in that place with my mom, but that was it. We actually stayed at the Shadow Mountain resort (I think that is the name of it), right behind that hotel you stayed at, and we loved it! My mom has a time share, so that is why we stayed there.

    Thanks for the video. I live an hour away from this resort and always wanted to stay there because of the lagoon. But the rates was always high. I’ll be keeping away.

    Fun facts....the lake that the boats run in is 23 feet deep.....to provide plenty of water for fire department to draw from.
    The boats are electric like a golf cart and are not on a track....they have to be driven manually.
    In the heat of summer, the lakes and water features on the property lose 100,000 gallons a day from evaporation.

    Hi Chris. Thanks for the review. It's a nice place but not for $600. Take care.

  • @kennixox262
    @kennixox262 Před rokem

    Those glass doors, especially the one for the toilet could be a major safety hazard. Being in an unfamiliar space, in the dark, sleepy/groggy and walking into the glass. Either a bad cut hitting ones head or shattering the safety glass. Not a good idea in my opinion. I've stayed there once and your points are spot on. Time for a remodel. The place is really set up for corporate events, meeting and golf. That is their bread and butter.

    Too bad you were overlooking the pool? I would have slept with the sliding glass door partially open if it was quiet. I hate hot stuffy rooms. Then just run the fan.

    Just the basics, big bathroom , separate toilet room. Not so fancy, affordable in WESTMINSTER, or close by in orange county. Thank you

  • @edvaira6891
    @edvaira6891 Před rokem +1

    I’ve often been kind of curious…does Traveling Princess know exactly WHY her Mom and Dad have these times when Dad is talking into the camera Mom is holding? I’m guessing she’s occasionally seen these? What’s her reaction?

    • @YellowProductions
      @YellowProductions  Před rokem +2

      At this point she definitely knows we are making a video.. yes. She watches them after the fact too. Sometimes she binge watches her Spunky Princess channel videos to relive the playground. Sometimes when I'm recording her and put the camera away, she asks me to take it back out again

    You think it has an 80s vibe? They filmed an episode of Saved by the Bell there. It was even “worse” back then.

    My old man used to say: Look at it this way, if you have a $1000 you would have 400 bucks left over for a romantic dinner.
    The moral of the story: You have to travel in style, once is a while.
    Great video.
