Hotel staff was great. After being on the road for days, we were looking forward to relaxing in our private hot tub. However, upon arrival it was not turned on and was very cold. We called the front desk, they immediately came up and turned it on, advised 30 min approx to warm up. It took several hours. We figured the next day would be good to go, however, housekeeping turned it off, so another evening with no warm hot tub. The next 2 days we left a polite note to please leave hot tub on so we could enjoy it in the evenings. Once we resolved that issue we were good to go. Breakfast was right next door but we were up and gone touring every day before yet opened so cannot vouch for breakfast. We definitely wood recommend this hotel, but if you’re expecting a warm hot tub, make sure to notify them in advance!
