We had confirmed reservations. Reason for the stay was to attend a wedding 20 mins away. On our way to the wedding, I stopped by the hotel (Pala) to see if there was a chance to pre-check, this was at 2:00 pm but was told that check in was at 4:00, rooms weren’t ready and I could not check in early. Since I had my luggage with me, I decided to leave it with guest services until I returned from the wedding thinking I would not run into any issues at check in. Sadly, when I returned at 9:30 pm (before the 10:00 registration deadline), the front desk clerk named Mia took my id and when to get her manager, Oliver. By far the worst customer service from these two I have ever experienced. Oliver let’s me know that the hotel is overbooked by 17 rooms and my (confirmed) reservation was moved to a nearby “sister” hotel. I let them know that I would not be able to move and they would need find another solution since I would not be moving to the other hotel. Oliver then disappeared. Meanwhile other guests showed up after I did…. They were told same story difference was they were offered a room in the hotel within minutes. Meanwhile, 50 minutes later, Oliver only came out twice to address me and our other party (who had a 1 y/o) and then Mia offered her unsolicited advice “had you taken the rooms we offered you wouldn’t have been here so long”. Ummm, no one asked you Mia. At the end, a room was “found” for me and our other party without an apology for having us wait as long as we did.

We reserved Mountain View. They gave us parking structure view. I asked the receptionist about it she said that’s what the area was called because the surrounding was mountains. 🤔😂that’s the only complaint.

Renovations to gym and spa significantly impacted our stay since that is what we came to Pala to enjoy. Mountain view room was actually a view of the parking garage- very disappointing I would have liked the receptionist to have informed us of all of this upon checkin. To have discovered each as we attempted each activity was one letdown after another. It was our first visit to Pala and with so many other casinos in the area, im not sure if we will be back

The hotel stay was great, although the lighting can improve but I wasn't allowed to leave my towel on the cabana area while I was going to get in the jacuzzi (no people at all on a Thursday) the young hispanic female with long black hair was rude when she mentioned that to me.
