My family reserved cabins for this resort 3 months ago we booked May 22-24. I had called twice before we came to make sure they were giving us the cabins close to each other. Once we checked in and got to the cabins assigned to us the cabins were so far from each other. I called to ask if we could get moved to cabins that were next to each other the receptionist had told us everything in our cabin area was “requested”. The next day comes and I called again because once we woke up there was tents being put together between our cabins we were never informed that the tents were gonna be there if not we would’ve never booked them. When I spoke to the other receptionist he informed me that the cabins were available that they were never requested as the other lady had told us. Anyway they reassigned us new cabin numbers but they were not the cabin numbers that had been texted to me. One of the resort workers brought us the new keys but kept saying he was off The clock and that he was helping us out of the kindness of his heart (whatever that means) and once we got in the new cabin there was dead spiders on the BED. As if that wasn’t bad enough the tv remote wasn’t working so I called to ask for them to fix it. The tech guy they sent was googling how to fix it. He had came late at night and never fixed the issue!!! We couldn’t watch tv because the tv was also not working because the wifi was not working either. It was the worst vacation so far spent here. We’ve been coming here for 5 years and the park has made so many changes that they do not Inform guests about. So much construction, half the park was closed. It’s horrible. Mt Olympus please...
Read moreMt Olympus Park is one of San Francisco's hidden gems! Let's start with the downsides of this location. It isn't easy to get too, isn't remotely handicap accessible, and some of the best views are blocked by trees. However, it is still very much worth visiting if you like exploring San Francisco's hills. On the plus side, you aren't going to be fighting boorish tourists for a place to sit and relax, as this spot is really hard to find, even with a map. It's also something of a hike from Haight or Castro streets. The walk from Haight and Masonic is a little less steep than from Castro and Market, and there are some magnificent houses along the way. There are also some marvelous views from the steps on Upper Terrace just before you get to the park as well. The park has a lovely, old-fashioned garden and several benches to admire the views from. The best view is to the east where you can see Potrero and Candlestick hills and the east bay in the distance. Trees obscure the view to the west toward Cole Valley and the Presidio in the far distance. Sadly, there are building in the way south and north, so you have to take photos of Sutro Tower and the Avenues from Upper...
Read moreMount Olympus in San Francisco California. I had heard there was a Mount Olympus in San Francisco, but it wasn't until I made a new friend- who happened to live up there, that I got to see it myself. The road is narrow and winding and not for the large of frame vehicle. It is a beautiful spot the view is fairly hidden by trees and living units but there is still some view to see. The Sutro monument is a reminder of the work that man did to beautify this city. Unfortunately not much is left of the beautiful statues that he sprinkled around our city due to the general behavior of human beings. This monument is a cool place to see though not much more left than the remaining stone pedestal. One interesting note is that the sandstone is covered with another material as a sort of flocking. And where the flocking has flaked away, people have left reminders of our need for immortality. The random initials, the lovers initials, and the lovelorn seeking his beauty. My feeling is that they were left in around the 40s. They don't distract or denigrate the monument, they are just a reminder of how fleeting...
