Bridges Bay Resort

8/10 Good
"On arrival we found the garbage in the room had not been emptied by housekeeping and the bar stools not cleaned (crumbs). Not a huge deal but makes you wonder what else was skipped but that was the only issue with cleanliness. We had a 2 bedroom condo and found it weird and somewhat challenging that there were no end tables for the couches, no coffee table, no dressers in the bedrooms and no closets in the bedrooms either. The only closet in the condo was a small closet in the bathroom (only 1 bathroom, single sink) and the closet had no closet rod to hang clothes, only 4 wire shelves. We managed to hang our clothes on the second bedroom bunk bed since we didn't need the bed for sleeping but if we had other people I guess we just leave our clothes hanging in the car. Had a great meal at the Waterfront restaurant and overall a great weekend in Okoboji."
