Some good some bad

First of all, the good parts of shadow Ridge, the layout of the condo and the grounds are very nice. The pool areas are very nice and well maintained. The shuttle bus on premises are a nice touch and a nice way to get up to the only restaurant on premises. Giuseppe‘s restaurant is a very nice restaurant and recommended. The bad part is the furnishings are old, dated and feel dirty. They need to be replaced with updated furnishings. The carpets are dirty and walking around barefoot made the bottom of your feet black. There are only a few areas in the complex that offer electric vehicle charging, this was very inconvenient. The condos, that we were in, had no way to make ice. The only ice machine that I saw was at the pool areas. The layouts of the kitchen and the placement of the flatware are out of reach for most smaller people. During our visit, we had six full bottles of wine removed from our room by the maid. The half case of wine was in the kitchen. We complained to the management and they “investigated” . The housekeeper told them she”thought” they were being recycled. Really?? We were not offered any type of compensation by management.
in a city where first class hotels are a dime a dozen this property should be close to the bottom of your search

I stayed February 12–14, 2026, and I strongly recommend finding another place to stay. These villas are extremely overpriced for the quality you receive. Upon check-in, we were told (after specifically requesting a ground-floor unit) that we were on the second floor — and, by the way, the elevator wasn’t working. That was never communicated in advance. The villa itself was unacceptable. It smelled heavily of smoke, which we reported to the front desk. Nothing was done. The floors clearly hadn’t been vacuumed — there were THC gummies scattered across them that housekeeping somehow missed. The refrigerator was dented up, the bathroom sinks looked like they’d been quickly wiped rather than properly cleaned, and the bathtub was flat-out disgusting, with someone else’s hair and visible dirt still inside. The on-site gift shop that supposedly carries food never had basic items in stock. Every time we asked for something, they were out. Checkout is a strict 10:00 AM with no flexibility. When you’re spending nearly $1,000 for roughly a day and a half, you expect at minimum a clean room and functioning amenities. That wasn’t the case here. In the Palm Springs area — where there are so many great options — this property would be at the bottom of my list. Marriott’s villa properties have noticeably declined since COVID, and the service has not returned to what it once was. If I could give zero stars, I would.
