Pleasant Valley Crossing Vacations from ￥309,040

I will definitely look more closely next time I book a “hotel,” because this is actually a timeshare. Upon check-in, the staff was friendly, then we were sent over to a welcoming agent who put on MAJOR pressure for us to attend a 90 min sales presentation. She would not take no for an answer. After several “no thank you” and “why not!?” Exchanges, my partner and I had to just walk away. I understand that this is a business, and I have no problem saying no to sales people (I’ve been on that side of sales) but she uncomfortably was not taking no. I would say, if this timeshare doesn’t want “regular” people booking it as a hotel, they shouldn’t let us. I will never stay at a Wyndham Club again.

I chose this hotel because it was close to my work event venue. My only complaint is that I was hoping to sit outside more. As a single, female traveler, I would have preferred my outdoor space to be more private, such as an upper floor balcony rather than an open porch. I liked that a keycard was required to enter the pool area, but my room was on the end, putting people right next to me as they walked by. One couple stopped and had a conversation only a couple of feet behind where I was sitting. I would have liked to have left the curtains open when I was in the room, but I felt vulnerable doing so with people able to see in as they walked passed. I liked the decor, the bed was comfortable, the room was clean, and there were outlets where I needed them. I would stay there again.

My husband and I stayed here for our honeymoon and explored Austin. It was so great, staff were friendly and there were fun things like live music in the hotel bar. Close to everything we wanted to do so could walk. Breakfast was good. Would highly recommend.
