We stayed for three nights and were VERY disappointed in the experience based on the price we paid ($600). The pool heater was broken for the whole stay and the pool was frigid. The pool was the primary reason I booked this hotel and would have booked a less expensive option if we had been notified before check-in that the pool was not usable. The front desk person told us "I'm just a part time employee, do you want me to check you out since the pool is not working?" when I asked if the pool would be repaired at all for the weekend. Additionally, there was no housekeeping available for our three night stay, acknowledged only by a note slipped under our door that they did not have housekeeping available. Breakfast was mediocre and the sheets on the bed had stains. Location was great.
