We booked a hot tub room, and we’re going to a concert nearby. It seems that maybe it is being renovated and not yet complete. The door handle was missing to the bathroom so there was just a hole. The bathroom was clean but pretty old. The spa was HUGE, but has a normal tap on it so takes around 2 hours to fill. We actually didn’t really get a chance to use it because we didn’t have time to wait 2 hours before going out. I think a smaller spa or a hardcore tap is needed. It was an ok stay but we wouldn’t book it again.
