Acceptable Stay with Some Issues

pool closure small pool
The breakfast provided a great selection of items.
The pool and spa were closed for maintenance. I was disappointed as I had specifically booked this hotel with the intention of using those facilities. The hotel offered access to a spa in another location, but the alternative pool was small. (It felt more like a large jacuzzi.)
