We had a wonderful two room villa that was perfect. However, the upkeep of the grounds and pool area are nonexistent. Peeling paint/rust on the metal fences around the very dirty pool. Dirt was accumulating on the bottom of the pool and the coping and tile need to be repaired. This could be the best pool in the area if someone would put some work into it.

I have to give this place a bad rating. I traveled alone with my three children. The first night we stayed, we were getting ready for bed, and when my kids went to pull out the sofabed, it had a sign saying, “Don’t open Broken.” We had to change rooms at 10 pm, and no staff member offered to help. I had just gone grocery shopping, and the new room did not have a full refrigerator, so most of my groceries went to waste. THEN, as my 5-year-old was sitting on a sofa/chair, he pulled out an OPENED pocket KNIFE that was placed in the cushion facing blade up. I reported all my concerns and brought in the knife, but all I got was an I don’t know how that happened.

Disliked: Amenities
Very noisy all around the resort due to renovations by owners of units that are not part of Shadow Mountain. No cleaning services (no matter how long you stay) provided by the management and you have to get your own replacement towels and bathroom tissues by walking down to the front desk! AC unit was extremely loud! Tennis courts were full of dust (ball marks can be seen)!! Definitely not a good value for the price and would not recommend this place.

Nice place with tennis courts
Pros - Great place to stay for Indian Well, close to a cute downtown area with lots of shops and restaurants. Quiet and relaxing. Cons - they must allow pets here, lots of people have their dogs. Great for them, not so great for other people who had to deal with pet hairs, or had allergies to dogs. They tried to keep it clean, but I am sure people let their pets on the bed and sofa, etc...

I was surprised this property was even listed on expedia. The room was so smelly and stinky that I called and complained and they sent me some room spray. It smelled like mold, mildew and smoke. I only booked this room because it had a pull out bed as well and guess what, the pull out bed was broken and didn't even open out. You couldn't even sit on the couch, it smelled so badly. I had to get fresh sheets and put them on the couch to sit on it. Even the little dinette had folded paper stuffed under the leg to keep it steady. When I complained and asked for a different room they said they couldn't change the room since they didn't have any other available, they wouldn't give me a refund because I didn't book directly with them. All in all this place was terrible and definitely overprices, if I had stayed in a motel I would have had a better experience.

This is not a 4 star resort, but rather a 3 star hotel. Buildings are old. Pool and jacuzzi need resurfacing Kitchen was outdated: old coffee maker, no dishwasher There was a dead bug inside kitchen counter There is no housekeeping service, no hand-soap, body wash, conditioner or body lotion in the bathroom. Bathroom is very small It would be OK for $ 100 per night, but not for $ 180
