Mixed Feelings About the Stay

cold hot tub cold pool

The hotel location offered reasonable access to nearby amenities.

I found fault with the advertised hot tub. It was consistently cold, and this rendered it unusable. The pool was similarly too cold for use despite warm weather. It was not worth the money.
