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.

We stayed at this property as we had fond memories of past visits. The staff were fantastic, but the site and rooms are tired and need some attention - re painting, new carpet and extra amenities like an additional soap for the shower and a blanket for cold nights and additional pillows for those that need more than one would have made things better. once simple things are done, it will be just a good as it ever was.
