Retro, awkward and slightly odd spa hotel

Extremely retro/out-dated spa hotel. Was a unique timecapsule experience, but the main building is in desperate need of renovations. Pool facilities are mediocre but was ok for a swim and some splashes with the family for a small amount of time. The family room had a bizzare loft bed hanging from the ceiling with no way to get on to it but jump up - not very convenient and difficult for kids. Nothing like the description or photo. Room lock system also was usually not working as cards didnt unlock the door easily. Not a horrible experience but won't likely visit again.
