"The rock hot tub was nice as was the pool. It was very quiet there with usually no one in the hot tub. The room was ok except for slamming doors next door to me the first night. The room was dated, needed a paint job and the shower was designed that you had to get in it to turn it on. Be prepared for a cold blast of water before you can adjust it."
