This is not a luxury spa as advertised. The rooms feel like a best western or motel 6 room at best for the price! Kids should not be allowed here it was insanely noisy, could hear every footstep on the ceiling of them running around until 10.30pm. The lunch menu was terrible, the burger tasted old & was cold in the middle & had zero flavor. Our TV didn’t work & it took the front desk 2 & 1/2 hours to come & fix it & then the guy put a football game on & pretended to still be fixing it whilst watching the game?! He literally cheered when he saw the score!!! Feel like this place is ran by teenagers. Not the relaxing spa experience I had wanted…the hot tub looks scummy too & people were just drinking beers in there. I originally had 2 nights booked but I left after the first night. I also complained to the front desk woman & she just said oh yes we have had some complaints about the noisy kids, sorry about that & then didn’t offer any compensation. Awful!

The room was clean but the sink was not. It looks like someone shaved his hair with a machine and the the cleaning people didn't see it. This should not happened. We didn't feel safe to park our car in the dark parking lot next to our room.
