Covina, California1 contribution
I was a little disappointed when we got there after 4:00 PM and our room was not made. I brought it to the attention of the front desk and they apologized and set us up with another room that was said to be an upgrade. We got to that room and it was already occupied. So, again after some time waiting for confirmation from the front desk personnel we were finally given a room that was clean and not occupied. I expect better service when I pay a premium price for anything.

Wanted to love this place, but, well... Upon arrival I needed to use a restroom badly but no toilet seat covers in the room and of course, the toilet seat needed scrubbing. If you like standing in your own dirty shower water then this is your place - the shower takes forever to drain. Parking? Hah, forget it! Prepare yourself for a long hike if you arrive late evening.

Do not recommend! I extended a business trip to have a few days of relaxation. The hotel blasts music starting at 8am. I wanted to sleep in, but it was impossible. I had some work to do, but it was also impossible with the loud music blasting all day. The hotel is old- they did the bare minimum to update it. Bathtub is filled with rust/decay. Old HVAC system. Decades old windows with no insulation. Also, small things like only having decaf coffee in the room and no microwave. Would never stay here again. Still grumpy from being rudely awakened by club volume music.

Overall pretty disappointing. Stopped by the JWB grill to have an early dinner before heading to a concert. Very slow so expected just a little attention from our service person. Saw him to order and then pay. Food was less than good. Burger was tasteless and the fish was just as bland. Been to a few of the restaurants before and enjoyed the experience, here not so much. Resort seemed very dated although open for just a couple years. If this was my first time at a Margaritaville, I would not return.

Jessica J helped us and was so kind and efficient. Made it an easy check in. Hotel is decent but in need of upgrades. Shower was very small. Restaurants were good. Staff was friendly and helpful which helped the rating.

Stayed here 3 nights. Our expectations were high considering the room rate. $40 a day resort fee! First night the AC made a horrible noise every time it shut off. We reported it the next morning and someone did work on it, but that night the noise was back. Reported it again to no avail. Requested housekeeping because we ran out of towels and coffee. 3 visits to the front desk and still no one showed up. Staff were pleasant, pool area is nice. But room needs TLC & requests were unanswered. Needless to say, we won’t be staying here again.
