Put simply we only required a bed for the night for 2 couples, the decision taken to rest our heads in Redwood coming mainly because we needed a place to store our race trailer overnight. The images suggested this wouldn't be an issue and on questioning if this was the case we were advised it wouldn't be a problem. In hindsight I would have preferred another option, certainly considering 'Redwood' cost $430 for the night in the middle of winter meaning off-peak.
Money aside, my so-called lofty expectations revolve around cleanliness. Yes, the facility is what it looks like on the web, it is reasonably well equipped, the beds and pillows very comfortable, in fact for the most part there's no problems. Unless of course you are a bit of a clean freak.
I guess the way I look at things is; Why should I accept a lower level of cleanliness than I expect in my own household? In the case of Redwood there were a myriad of finger marks on the walls, doors etc. In every room. The tables and benches definitely didn't meet the 'finger' test. All it takes is a warm soapy sponge and a drying cloth and voila, these marks and the dust would be gone. By the way, it wasn't just myself who was of this opinion.
Anyway the bottom line was the facility served a purpose, it looked nice, but there were the cleanliness issues and...
The race trailer didn't quite fit meaning it poked out onto the footpath,
The garden was was overgrown and frankly, a disgrace.
Of course we don't live in the backyard or front garden, but for $430, it should be perfect.
