Underwhelming Spa Experience
overcrowded pool missing treatments
The spa was a MAJOR disappointment. I was looking forward to treatments, but they no longer offer massages or facials. It's just hydrotherapy and massage chairs now. The pool was also overcrowded. Honestly, it felt more like a children's play area than a relaxing spa.

Charming Stay
excellent staff comfortable room secure parking
I found the staff quite excellent. The rooms proved comfortable and well-furnished. I enjoyed the on-site parking.
I noticed the breakfast hours during the week were a little tight. Specifically, 7 am to 9 am. This limited the time available to enjoy a leisurely breakfast. I hope the hours get extended soon.
