the pluses: nice room, nice bathroom, pleasant staff, pretty setting in the desert, restaurant experience was good

the minuses: no wine glasses waiting for us in room,
the wood for the fireplace was green and smoked badly,
$25 for a second helping of fireplace wood? really? a big deal is made on the website of every casita having fireplaces, but i do not remember seeing the fee listed. I have two cords of dry wood sitting at home, i would have gladly brought my own supply and had a crackling fire instead of a smoldering one.

$30 for a corkage fee? that is an outrageous amount for the 10 secs it requires someone to pull out a cork.

$25 for a resort fee, and the only thing we tried to use was the wi-fi, which was worthless. It was so slow it could not stream my favorite radio station. I travel for work, i spend 200 days a year in hotels all over, and this one was not up to snuff. It certainly did not meet Resort Spa standards. It may be the best in Borrego Springs, but it is not the best i have been in, by a long shot.
