    OKANA Resort & Indoor Waterpark - Taco restaurant in house

    Had the pleasure of attending a work conference here. The venue was beautiful, staff was attentive,…read morefood was freshly prepared, always restocked, and tasted wonderful. Looks like a great place to vacation with family!

    Overall good experience, with some major hiccups at Smokehouse Social. Room was spacious and…read morebeautiful, but DIRTY. The rooms were beautiful but dirty. We had a great view of the river. There was a fingernail left on the bathroom counter from the previous guests which is absolutely disgusting. I left it there in hopes it would be cleaned when they came in my room. Not only was it not cleaned up, a dirty rag was left in our room after they came to "clean". The AC worked wonderfully and the beds were comfy. The bathroom was nice, but the floors seemed like they haven't been mopped between guests. I love the amount of towels provided. Our dining experience at Smokehouse Social was a disaster. We ordered a rack of ribs, sides, and an appetizer. We tried to order a brisket sandwich but our waitress told us they were out for the evening. We asked 30 mins later again, and received the same answer. The food came out at a reasonable time. The appetizer and sides were delicious. The ribs were burnt and dry. Then to our surprise, two other customers outside on the patio received brisket sandwiches. We talked with our waitress about the ribs and they were replaced with ribs that were pink, undercooked, and flavorless. We spoke to another waitress that her table was able to order brisket and the had an attitude from the start of the conversation. She then proceeded to humiliate a family member saying loudly "I don't appreciate the hostility" disrupting everyone's dinner out of the patio. I intervened asking her to be professional at work. My family member made a joke and the entire patio returned to enjoying their dinner with their families after an awkward, tense situation was created by the other waitress. Our waitress Bryleigh was an angel! So sweet and patient. I reported all of this to the manager on duty. He claims the other waitress will be talked to, but who knows! We were shocked at her behavior and so disappointed in this pricey unsatisfactory experience. The pools, the slides, and the indoor water park were very fun. The hours are strange, but no complaints here. The elevators were slow. I think the technology there was super cool. However, they should consider displaying what elevator is coming for what floor for more than 3 seconds. Every time I walked up to the elevator people had the same conversation about "I already pressed it" with their family/spouses. Well you wouldn't know by the speed of the elevator or by looking at the keypad. The food was good. Pricey, but good. We ate at Chidos twice because the tacos and chips/dips were so good. At 10am a woman knocked on the door saying it was housekeeping and she wanted to clean the room. She had no cleaning supplies and was passive aggressively trying to let us know we needed to be out at 11am. She was trying to see if we left yet so they could start cleaning, I get that. Then at 11:04 she knocked on the door again and I said my husband is getting the car and bringing me a cart. You can see the room is all packed. We are leaving. She passive aggressively points at her phone and shows me the time of 11:04. I put my things in the hall so she could get the point. The passive aggression comes from the smiles, happy tone of voice, and the dozen I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry, but it's obvious she's trying to rush us out. I get the rooms need to be turned over asap, but as dirty as our bathroom was, you wouldn't think they'd have such urgency to clean the rooms. Worth noting, I did not pay for this room, my church did. I'm not sure I would have enjoyed it as much if I had invested myself. I did enjoy the attractions and most of the interactions with staff. It's a cool place with so much potential. I hope they iron out these issues!

    + Quirky, fun motel + Friendly staff…read more+ Good location for where I needed to be - Door was locked, had to call to check in - Can be hard to find if you're driving south on Classen - Went to plug in the (supplied by the motel) hairdryer last night, tripped the GFCI over the sink (and probably the circuit breaker) and in the bathroom for the remainder of my stay. Overall, I enjoyed my stay here. I like the decor. I understand things happen and life goes on. Would I stay here again? Probably, especially if have a repeat appointment early the next day.

    First of all, had difficulty getting the code to work in order to access our room. Once we got into…read morethe room, the AC was making a horrible noise that would not go away. We left to attend a wedding and returned late- AC was still making a racket and no one was in the office at that time. We had a horrible night trying to sleep with the noise from the AC and the street noise. Next morning, the shower pressure was low, and the water temperature kept fluctuating. I went to the front office to find out if we could move to a different room. The only way to get in touch with someone was through email. I sent an email asking for a different room. I didn't hear back and so we made the decision to check out early. I didn't hear from anyone until late afternoon. The whole atmosphere was not our taste. We didn't appreciate the "art work" in our room either. We won't be staying here again. I should have researched this place a little more before booking.
