Hot tub was “out of service” and it appears to have been that way for a long time. These places need to stop advertising they have one if they aren’t going to keep it open.

The spa/ hot tub barely worked at all and was warm at best. Attempting to turn on one of the jets just caused a bunch of dirt to come out. There were spots on the pillows and sugar around the coffee maker and on top of the microwave. Beds were wobbly and the TV was super tiny. There were no pool towels and the slide lock on the door wouldn't have even been able to stop my child from breaking in.

It was dirty, unsafe and there were homeless people sleeping under the stairs. The room was very dirty, the bedding looked like it had not been cleaned. Tgere was blood and stains on the sheets. I would not recommend this place to anyone.
