Staff were fantastic. Helpful and courteous. The room was good except the picture windows. There was a huge seagull poop across the outside and multiple forehead grease smudges on the inside.

I booked this hotel primarily due to the spa. And I was aware months ago that the primary spa was under renovation but called the front desk and was told that all guests would have full access to the Nordic spa. I was not told that the Nordic spa required a reservation. We arrived and found it was fully booked. I explained that's the whole reason we booked the hotel, got no real empathy or genuine attempt to accommodate, and settled to be put on the waitlist should anyone cancel. We then went to the pool/hot tub area from 4:30 until 6PM to observe that the Nordic spa was not being used by any guests. It was empty the whole time. Very frustrating to say the least. Aside from the dissappointment of the Nordic spa miscommunications, everything else was great. But that was a major detractor from the overall experience and I would've stayed elsewhere had I known.
