Called prior to booking to ensure their hot tub was working, due to previous disappointments, and was assured it was and was told the hours. However, not one time in my six night stay was the hot more than luke warm. I would complain and be told that it would be turned on earlier in the day to ensure it was hot. Never happened. The hotel itself is older and could use maintenance, the rooms were clean, and the staff was responsive in all other areas, just assume that they don't really have a working jacuzzi and you eill be fine.
