No pool! Even though it is listen in the description the pool has been broken for years & the guy at the front desk said “there have been lots of people very upset to find out the pool is broken”. The room was somewhat clean, but the towels smelled like dirty feet & the fridge in our room was broken. There is NO pool/NO spa.

We stayed 2 nights. A pool and spa were listed on several websites but we learned on arrival it closed 6 years ago. Also no one came to clean the room and there was no apology or move to rectify. We just called at least get more towels. Breakfast staff were great. Location was convenient and beds comfortable but not sure we would stay again.
