They did not facilitate 3rd party booking well. Service poor other than valet. Not super clean. Great location though.

The listing is misleading, photos show a "pool," but no mention in verbiage. It was NOT a pool, not even a lap pool, as it appears in photos. It's a hot tub!

Sharon, we do call it a "spool" because it's a cross between a spa and a pool. I'm sorry if you were unaware of that but the photos do accurately depict the size of it.

The location was great. The property had potential, but zero amenities due to under staffing.

Thank you for taking the time to let us know about your stay. We've gotten our bar reopened in the evening and of course our spool (spa/pool) has been open all along.
