We stopped by because I was curious about the mixed reviews. We weren't staying at the hotel so I…read morehoped we'd have a positive experience. We arrived near the end of the day so we had the whole space to ourselves. This was great because we have a toddler and I love being able to explore the space and snap photos without worrying about disturbing other customers. The host was super new to town and the job. Trying to order took a long time because she'd walk away to a far away space (kitchen?) to check on each question. "Can we still order food?" Walks away. "Does the charcuterie plate have any goat or sheep cheese?" Walks away. "I'd like the x tasting and the charcuterie platter." Walks away to put in the charcuterie order (instead of pouring the first wine). I wish she could have texted someone or used a computer/tablet to communicate with the kitchen... or had an experienced person there to provide guidance/training. Eventually we got the snacks and wine. They were each... okay. The wine tasting was a bit awkward because she was reading the descriptions (for the first time??) and seemed surprised by some of the flavors/notes mentioned. I can see us visiting again if we're for some reason in town for an event and the event happens to be here, but I'd rather explore other wineries if it's just us or a group of friends exploring Prosser wine tastings.

WARNING: I, like many people, thought that the Desert Wind Inn would be an all inclusive event…read more Wine tasting and dinner in the evening, sitting around the fire in the backyard drinking a glass of merlot. Experience a wine tasting in the quiet serenity of the wine country. This is the experience that is advertised on the website and we paid handsomely for it. This dreamy experience is just that: a dreamy image of what this could be which could not be further from the truth. Instead, we were met with rude indifferent service, a room that we could not easily leave past 5 PM (or 7 PM if you're lucky to be here Friday-Saturday), a loud uncomfortable room, and poor quality wine. DO NOT STAY AT THIS HOTEL IF YOU WANT A WINE COUNTRY EXPERIENCE; ONLY STAY HERE IF YOU ACTIVELY SEEK OUT DISAPPOINTMENT. What was supposed to be an incredible afternoon and evening in the wine country turned out to be a disappointment. The expectations created by the property in its advertisement plummeted the second we set foot on the property. The warm welcoming mentioned in previous recent reviews was no where to be seen when we arrived at the property on May 29, 2025 at around 12:30 PM. A cold and rather indifferent hostess meets us, no greeting, no welcoming remarks but a cold "what do you need". The hostess only expressed distain that we were checking in, giving us an annoyed glare while informing us that check-in was not allowed until 3 PM despite the hotel being seemingly empty. In the same annoyance and disdain, she told us that all information we needed should be in an email (that never arrived) and the turned her back to us and walked away. We did not expect an early check in, we just wanted to make sure that all of the information is there and whether there was more to do about it prior to us getting our room. The attitude was entirely discouraging and unwarranted and it continued to do so over the course of the next couple of hours while we waited for 3 PM. It was only when we said that the email did not arrive she begrudgingly gave us the information on a card with a random code without any explanation roughly 30 minutes after we arrived. In hindsight, that meant the room was ready, but she did not bother to tell us that fact nor inform us what the code represented. While we waited, we sat down for a glass of wine. The hostess continued to treat us like we were unwelcome guests being incredibly rude and lacked curtesy at every turn. No smiles, no small talk about the place, no indication on what to expect from our stay based on what was advertised on the website regarding the tasting and other opportunities of the sort. No wine recommendations were given nor what to expect from our choices nor any indication that she would be happy to help at all with our questions. She just coldly informed us that there are no truffle fries or soup. We proceeded to "guess" what wines would be to our liking based on previous experiences. We tried four different wines by the glass and truthfully, the wine was rather mediocre which fueled the unexpectedly unwelcoming and unpleasant experience. Bad wine and bad attitude just don't mix well together for a great experience. This was topped up by a very slow service (45 minutes with nobody else in the restaurant) for a Caesar salad and warm bread with butter. Once 3 PM rolled around, we were not shown or told where to go, instead we were left to figure it out which was difficult as the place is big. We finally found our way to our room where we were met with the startling insight that the rest of the property closes at 5PM (or 7 PM Friday- Saturday) no dinner service, no bar service, no access to the back patio. All nicely taped to the door. This made it sound like we were practically only allowed to be in our room after 5 PM (or 7 PM Friday-Saturday) with no control of the thermostat and a massive highway outside, polluting the room with unpleasant smells of gasoline and constant car noise. This "curfew" made us feel hostages in our own room. After 5 PM and before 11 AM, all you have available for "leisure" is the hallway with all the rooms and the side door. No staff around, nothing. Just a hallway and a side door. The all-inclusive feel is cut short by the lack of a breakfast option or any other hospitality services. In order to get dinner, miles down the road (goodbye wine tasting experience elsewhere - the place is not walkable, so one must drive there), we had to exit through a back door, down a metal staircase, that leads you behind the dumpsters and makes you feel like a criminal. Overall this experience was not at all what was advertised by the property. This was an extremely expensive room with worse service than a comfort inn. I felt like I was living an episode of Gordon Ramsey's Hotel Hell. I cannot recommend at all that anyone spends this kind of money for this experience. 1/10 would actively avoid this and everyone should.

The first is the consistency of the food. There have been ongoing issues with keeping regular food items in stock. It has been disappointing when we go and hope to get certain items and they have a substitute which is not even close to being good. Also the past two summers the restaurant is ridiculously hot, The AC is obviously not working. We feel so bad for the staff. It's 95 degrees and its cooler outside than inside the restaurant. One time we went and it smelled of BO because everyone was so hot. Unfortunately we won't go back during the summer because it's just so miserable. Hopefully they can do a better job of taking care of their staff.

Then we ordered the black cod which is my favorite fish- so tender and flaky, loved the addition of meaty lions Mane mushrooms and a miso slaw!

We decided to go to Riva Riverside Italian Dining for a relaxing and special date night dinner and…read morehad an interesting experience to say the least. We had a reservation and were sat pretty quickly by the hostess. The hostess also took our drink orders and brought them to us. That is where it all changed. We were quite hungry, and wanted to order not only dinner but an appetizer as well. We waited and waited and waited and waited. There were plenty of servers, but none would acknowledge us. We kept raising our hands and trying to get someone's attention to serve us, but no one would make eye contact with us. Other tables were getting waited on (about 6), but we weren't. Thirty minutes in, we joked about about driving to Carl's Jr and getting served would be quicker than here. We were about to give up when my partner was finally able to get someone's attention almost 40 minutes in. This is where our experience all changed again. Lo and behold, our saving grace was Jimmy, the chef. We didn't know he was the chef, we just wanted to order. He had the best attitude and took care of us the rest of the night. He apologized for the lack of service and waited on us promptly. We were able to order more drinks, our appetizer, and dinners through him. As soon as he got to the kitchen, Lacey then started to check on us the rest of the night. She apologized for not waiting on us earlier, she (and everyone else) had thought we were already being waited on because we had wine. Jimmy and Lacey were attentive to us the rest of the evening. So much so, that we didn't want to leave. Jimmy's positive attitude was so infectious and we absolutely fell in love with him. He (and Lacey) apologized for the mis-hap and comped some of our dinner such as the appetizer and the wine, I believe. Jimmy took the time to explain his culinary experience, and personal goals... we had such a great time getting to know him. Regarding the food, it was all amazing. He did such an amazing job. We loved it all so much. He then recommended a desert, also free of charge. He treated us so well. We came back another night with a gift for him, but he unfortunately was not working. We hope to see him again and hope you get your food cooked by Jimmy, as well. If you're lucky enough, you may also get served by him and get to know him. Food: Amazing Service: Not great at first, but made up for exponentially The second time we visited, we were served by Lacey again. We did not get the same experience as the first time.
