Hot tub had too much chemicals. When jets were turned on it was eye wrenching. Pool was bearable in regard to chemicals, however, it was freezing cold. The pool light came out of wall and was hanging on by wires and the railing came out of the floor. Breakfast was good and staff were nice! No outdoor patio. It was down for repairs.
