My wife and I cut our stay short. From the moment we walked in, there was a dead roach on the restroom floor. Didn’t think nothing of it… later, we found another roach in the armoire. From that moment, we gathered our things and decided to leave. As we were walking out, there was a live roach on the wall making its way to the restroom. We definitely went to the front desk and notified them about our experience.

This place looks like where the Griswolds would end up. It is incredibly old and falling apart. Every single thing was outdated. The carpet was dingy, the second floor walkway looked like it was about to tilt over and fall. There was a def old funk smell in the hotel, i found a live roach in my room, the karaoke place smelled of dirty carpet and old a$$ ketchup. Staff was friendly, food was good. Would never stay here again.

The mineral pools and hot tubs were wonderful and well maintained. The pool area was spotless and perfectly relaxing. The parking was secure and gated. The rooms could really use updating, but the beds were just fine. All in all a very nice experience.

Every year, at least once, we come here to enjoy the mineral pools and the pleasant weather. I believe that late autumn and early spring are the best times to visit. The staff is always friendly, welcoming, and great. The hotel conditions are generally okay; it is an old historic area, and no upgrades to the property have been made so far. However, the staff does their best to keep it clean and well-maintained, which shows. Since we come for the waters, the other issues do not bother us too much. My only suggestion is that the pool rules could be stricter and clearer, especially for day pass users. Sometimes, a problematic crowd visits with a careless attitude toward others and does not adhere to the simple rules of quiet coexistence. My special thanks to Marvella, the receptionist. Thanks to the lifeguard. Five stars to the kitchen staff, always very energetic and friendly. Also, it would be great to see the room's curtains replaced/updated next year. :)) Or washed.
