Questionable

Nice historic hotel. Rooms nice. Spa nice. Little concerned about the safety of the hotel. Several people were witnessed coming in from outside gates who did not appear to be hotel guests. Key card pad on outside door did not work to get into indoor pool. They just walked in. We mentioned this to the front desk attendant who said, "yeah none of the key pads work but I dont get paid enough to care about that." All was find during our say, but for a nice hotel, I do feel like that is something you should care about.

This spa and hotel was amazing. Beautiful building, amazing accommodations and several restaurant choices attached to the hotel itself. Spa was nice. They do numerous styles of massages but also have a "grotto" which is a room with a dry and steam saunas, large hot tub, steam shower and an ice cold shower in addition to ice cold mint-scented washcloths to use. Outside was amazing too. The outdoor pool doesn't appear to have chlorine in it. Not sure if it is the spring water but it feels good and doesn't make your skin and hair feel dry. Outside is also a large amount of lounge chairs, a 20 person hot tub and bar! The grounds around it are also large and beautiful with gazebos, a meditation circle or stones and an herb garden. Oh and the hotel accepts dogs too! Out front they have a lawn with poo bag holder and can, like parks often have. One downside is there are no other dog amenities like any off leash area or.any spa features. Still, it is nice to be able to bring our dog!

This is a beautiful, well-maintained hotel, and the staff are professional, helpful, and friendly. However, as a guest in a standard room, I felt like a second class citizen. The room had 2 queen beds which, theoretically, would mean 4 people could stay there, but the room had 1 packet of powdered cream and sugar for coffee and one desk chair, plus two small ottomans which served as tables, but certainly were not good for seating. We were also told that other rooms got real coffee mugs but our room was only supposed to have paper cups. I can’t imagine why Hyatt would want to make guests feel unworthy of the same treatment as everyone else.
