The hot tub was warm enough just don't understand why the jets didn't work when I put on the timer. It could use a paint job.

Very nice staff. What was most impressive was how quiet the heater was in our room. It was a wall mounted thermostat. Not the obnoxious thing most hotels have that are loud. Plenty of options for breakfast too. All for a reasonable price.
