The hot tub has not be working for months. They are still giving out slips with hot tub hours during checkin so I didn't realize until I took my kids down in the evening that it was a block of ice instead of a hot tub. The managers are aware of the issue and have not made any efforts to fix the amenity (which is prominently advertised on their website). I checked out early and went somewhere else, but they refused to give a refund. They were pretty nasty about it. I will never book there again. Also the coffee machine was broken.
