Disappointing hot springs but very clean

Beautiful hotel with lots of amenities and good service. Rooms are ok, very clean but the bathrooms are a bit rustic and need updating. Thermal pools vary a lot in temperature and were a bit underwhelming as we expected them to be hot.only annfee were warm. Overall it’s a nice stay but was disappointed as we picked it for the hot springs.
