good surprise destination choice
We arrived to our surprise destination, and our packet told us check in was at 3pm, and the front desk at our destination said they don’t allow people to check in until 4pm. Thankfully they had a clubhouse we were able to hang out in for the hour! They had complimentary games, coffee, and even a map you could place a push pin on that showed where you came from! We finally made it in to our location, it was very quiet, and clean. We unpacked and settled in! They decorated our room with some rose petals and wine, was a very nice touch considering it was valentines weekend! They check in was easy, and all of our room amenities worked good for the most part. The coffee maker definitely needs a sign stating how to use properly, they maintenance crew had to come show us how to use it properly because they have taken parts away due to past makers getting broke. Was just a bit frustrating after I tried to make coffee 6 times, a little sign would’ve been great, or a note in our packet. We ventured outside to our patio which had a grill, chairs, and a hot tub, and we were ecstatic! unfortunately the hot tub was nowhere near warm and we were bummed it hadn’t been warmed up per our arrival, so we had to call maintenance and they maintenance and they came to the rescue. While we waited about 4 hours for it to heat up, we ventured downtown which was only 8 mins away from the destination. super convenient! Enjoyed a 3 day weekend in the geodesic dome, cooking, roaming the woods and enjoying the scenic view and hot tub the most! The pre planned itinerary was pretty spot on and accommodated us well, we used the packed all weekend for all our adventures. We saw many museums, ate at some amazing restaurants, and ventured around Hot Springs, Arkansas all weekend. I would definitely plan another journey with pack up + go, it took the stress of having to preplan and book the trip, and the itinary / list of places and things was so helpful when trying to decide where to go or what to eat because its all based off your personal likes!
