A sprawling hotel and a little isolated
OK so this is a beautiful hotel with wonderful gardens. It is very big, too big I would say, so much so that we would continually get lost. It was under renovation so the Starbucks wasn't open and there were not very many options to eat in the hotel. I was there for a conference and so didn't have the advantage of being able to go downtown, which is a bit far (at least a 40 dollar cab ride). The hotel does, however, have a shuttle bus that runs to a shopping center called Shops at La Cantera which is five minutes away and has every possible store you could need (except no drugstore). The shuttle is very accommodating and took us also to Best Buy and to Target which aren't far. The man (Bruno) was even nice enough to take packages back to the hotel for us so we didn't have to carry them around. Rooms are lovely and clean and check in fast and friendly. All the concierges were nice. The one restaurant we ate at was Brannon's cafe and they were very nice and the food was excellent. The mac and cheese on the children's menu can be ordered for adults and it is amazing. Crab cakes good too. If you are a golfer this is a great place to stay. I would, however, would like to stay closer to town on another occasion.
