the pool, steam room, and sauna were great, attended by a friendly spa receptionist. i found the light switches for the downlights by the bed a bit hard to locate. an under-sink light switch was oddly placed near the bed, causing some confusion. overall, it was one of the best little stays i have had for ease and comfort
