Was looking forward to enjoying the hot tub. Unfortunately, the hot tub was not hot. Dpokecto the front desk who said they would take a look at it. Tried again to enjoy the hot tub the following evening, but it was still not hot. Very disappointing indeed. Beyond that, room was clean, and it was very quiet.
