the hotel's vibe surprised me. i loved the different temperatures in the hot tubs. the atmosphere, staff were friendly, and drinks at the bar were great. i would happily choose this hotel when i return.
the lighting in my room was a bit too low, especially since the hotel is close to other buildings. i had to keep the blinds down for privacy.

Acceptable, but had some problems with the room and service

terrible mattresssmaller room
Mattress in my room? Terrible. Springs were poking through it. Receptionist mentioned she was the only staff, and hotel was fully booked. I got zero sleep that first night. Next day, they moved me to another room, but it was way smaller than what I originally booked. The whole thing annoyed me.

I appreciated the hot tubs and the campfire area that featured complimentary s'mores. The facilities were kept pristine and clean even with the hotel being fully booked. Our room was spacious. The complimentary breakfast included eggs, sausages, pancakes, fruit, and yogurt.
The room lighting COULD have been a bit better, as it was somewhat dark.
