Rita in reservations promptly addressed a health concern, i was grateful. The spa staff were supportive and ensured we felt welcome. The pool was pleasant, and the treatments were beneficial (i thoroughly enjoyed the aromatherapy).
Upon arrival, i learned parking should have been pre-booked. There were no available accessible spaces, this was problematic. Tissues were left in the bathroom indicating cleanliness was not meticulous. I expected better attention to detail.
