I was quite disappointed with this hotel. The pool was dirty and freezing cold. We couldnt swim at all. The hot tub was cracked and very brown water. Needless to say we didnt use the pool area. Hotel staff was great. The food staff was ok Most were very bossy and didnt want to be bothered at all. The cooks were fabulous. I would not stay here or recommend it again..
