Very relaxing. The only disappointment was not having the hot tub. It was the reason we choose the hotel for the second year.

There were no towels available at the pool, when I asked for some, was told they were drying. We had to use our room towels. Called houskeepung for more room towels for showers then later. None were brought. Had to go to front desk for them. The grouses nest did not want to take our food order due to them being busy. The second room we got across from poolside room was only 62° due to the outside door not sealing and having horrible draft. When we finally got to shower, neither of our rooms had hot water, they were barely luke warm. And after getting home and checking bank account they charged me for 2 poolside rooms when i only had 1! Horrible experience.

The heat wasnt working properly but the staff in the daytime were very helpful. Unfortunately after being moved rooms due to cold conditions and no heat on the second floor, no quite hours were inforced by night staff and there was partying, loud music, yelling kids until 2 am. Breakfast was alright but wasn't tended to so it was missing most of the food. But the hotel is beautiful, clean, and the pool and bar are pretty cool. Just needs some updates in HVAC and thicker walls.
