Our stay at The Retreat on the Hill in the Mirror House did not meet expectations. We were not informed that the WiFi was down, and there was no lock on the room door where our personal belongings were kept, which was a significant security concern.
Although the Mirror House gate has a keypad entry system, it can easily be opened by reaching over and manually turning the lock from the inside. This undermines the purpose of the keypad entirely. Overall, security did not appear to be a priority for this space. There were also spiders and other bugs entering the unit, with no appropriate bug spray provided.
When we sought assistance at the office, we were told they could not help and were redirected to text the property manager. None of the listed contacts that were provided prior to check-in responded, despite stated availability from 9am–6pm. However, the property manager did respond to what we believe was her personal number and confirmed that the WiFi was down and that the main gate “locked”, so that was her “reassurance” that our belongs would be safe.
While the concept and setting are beautiful, communication, safety measures, and customer service need significant improvement.
*We left some spray for the spiders and other bugs for the next occupants*
