We had a nice room that had a great big tub. I was not aware of the tub when i booked the room, so that was a very nice surprise. The swimming pool is filled with the hot springs mineral water. I also did not know that was offered at this hotel. We made sure to take advantage of the pool instead of paying to go to the public mineral pools. I really think the pool was our favorite part. It was so nice to go soak in the pool in the evening when it was a cold night. The staff was also great. We left a blanket in our room when we checked out and they called us to let us know so we could go pick it up our make arrangements to get it sent back.

Not sure how this hotel gets top ratings. Our room was by front main street. Bed was all torn up underneath; we were concerned about bed bugs. Luckily, we didn’t see any. Floor hadn’t been clean in a while, so we had to wear slippers. The pool outside is creepy at night and not well lit, so don’t go alone. Otherwise, the stay was ok.
