Not Relaxing
It was not the relaxing visit I had hoped for. My daughter and I arrived Wednesday around 8 pm for two nights. We were tired and went straight to our room. Immediately we heard a dog in the room next door that barked non—stop for over an hour. I live next to several dogs at home on either side of me that bark a lot so I was feeling cursed. I texted the front desk twice and they said they had called the absent dog owners to address the issue. Why even allow dogs at a spa where wellness and quiet should go hand in hand? Obviously This was not a service dog as the owners had left it alone. Additionally there were four guests that were obnoxiously loud and possibly very drunk that arrived in the hot spa every time I visited. I noticed a small sign that recommended “quiet” on the gate before entering. There needs to be a larger sign inside the spa and enforcement from the staff. The last straw was the slamming of doors every time someone exited their room. Everywhere we go these days the world is getting noisier and people seem to be in inconsiderate bubbles, but it shouldn’t be expected at places that highlight wellness and relaxation. Also, they have a weird policy that you have to contact the front desk to open the gate to let you in each time you visit the hot spa. On the plus side, the room was clean and the food was good. Check out was Veteran’s day. I wasn’t asked about my visit so I’m leaving that feedback here in the hopes this helps guests who are sensitive to noise.
