Overall, this is a great place to stay for relaxation in the hot tub. The check-in process is great when you can just drive straight to your room. The only issue we had was that the previous guest didn't report the broken TV, so we went without it for the night. But we were only there for the mineral hot tub, so we didn't miss the TV.
