Unfortunately the pool and spa were closed during our stay with no advance notice when we booked the room. Beyond that, beware the beds -- we have never strayed in a luxury resort with such soft mattresses, which rendered me with a back in spasms for the next 4 days after we left. It's unconscionable that a "new" mattress that is softer than a sponge cake could be put into a room (#57). If you cherish your back -- enquire about the mattress and check before you unpack. We also hosted a luncheon for 10 people on the Sunday at Layla and was disappointed with the lackluster service -- all this will amount to us staying in other luxury resorts next time we are in wine country.

Dear Kevin,Thank you for sharing your review of your recent stay at MacArthur. We sincerely apologize that you were not made aware of the pool and spa closures prior to your arrival. We understand your disappointment and also apologize for the quality of your sleep & the service in the Layla. We do have new mattresses in the rooms but they are plush and on the softer side. We do want to discuss these issues with you further, and will be reaching out to you directly shortly. Best,Your MacArthur Team

Para el precio, creo este hotel está OVER RATED y OVER PRICED. LAs habitaciones bien sin ser espectaculares, el hotel en sí bien, sin ser memorable. Nos pusieron una sola toalla, y no tenía shampoo e dispensador. Cuando al hacer check out le di mi retroalimentación la personal, me dijo: hubiera llamado a recepción. Pero cómo iba llamar si estaba en la regadera? El desayuno muy bien, el personal del comedor muy amable. Creo hay muchas mejores en la zona por este precio

It would be best if you experienced this place
I saw this resort on Instagram, which I decided to go. The entire experience was just fabulous. I was welcomed with sparkling wine and upgrade to the suite with fireplace and back patio. The resort was breathtaking, everything was brand new and clean. Room was super clean and newly renovated with tons of upgrades. Love the option to have outdoor in the front porch or even back patio, also there was couple fire pits by the room which was just perfect. I had dinner and a drink at the bar, which was just an amazing experience with friendly staff. Unfortunately, I didn’t use the spa facilities because I had a short trip, but I plan to visit it again since it was a beautiful stay. I highly recommend this place, and I am looking forward to my next visit.

Our room was dirty, noisy, and a big disappointment for the price. It’s an old property with thin walls so we were kept awake by street noise and guests in adjacent rooms talking and partying. The room needed maintenance: carpets needed a shampoo, the walls needed paint, and the closet door was binding. We were expecting a luxurious hotel but experienced an old road side motel.

Lovely property. Only complaint was when we went to have brunch we were told they couldn’t accommodate us. This is probably the first property I’ve stayed at where they didn’t hold a little space for guests. Can’t imagine everyone staying there was eating at at same time. Would of loved to know at check in that bfast was popular and we would of reserved right then. Otherwise the experience was lovely and so convenient but not to crazy. We will return.

The property is pet-friendly, but there are no receptacles on-site for disposal of dog/poop bags. I suggest that 2 stations be established: one, just off of the valet parking stand at the entrance into the property, providing poop bags and a trash can; and one somewhere around the perimeter of the property.
