Hotel was okay. Our toilet broke they did give us a new room. The pool area was cold and water was chilly so u couldn’t go in. Also the workout room was minimal and machines they did have were broke.

Service was good. Heat was terrible. It took hours to heat the room 5 degrees. Also it was so noisy forget a relaxing day. Hot water only luke warm and shower drain clogged so you were standing in a couple inches of water during shower.

Not quite as good as usal

The breakfast used to include things like eggs and breakfast meat. These were not part of the breakfast. Disappointing. The pool used to be warmer as well. Other than that everything was good.

I have recently reached out to the property to ask for a refund on a day of our stay that was not used, as well as the fact that we choice this hotel due to the hot tub access. Which has been permanently shut down at this hotel, but is still being advertised. They told me I needed to talk to the travel agents. However the travel agency is telling me to contact the hotel. I’m getting very upset with the service at this point.
