What hot tub? I don’t even want to give this place one star! They had to switch my room 4 times , first room air was broken so was the tv. Next room smelled like bug spray so strong it made my eyes burn. Tv also broken. Third room tv broken air broken smelled of bug spray none of these rooms was clean. Every bed had stains and dirty sheets the WiFi didn’t work and the breakfast was cold I paid way to much to stay in that crappy hotel. Not to mention my wallet was stolen by housekeeping I was told it was never found untill the house keeper swiped my card at the gas station

This property recently changed ownership and it appears that the new owners are making improvements. Overall it's a clean and reasonably priced place to stay. Yes, I would stay there again.

Room was clean and bed was comfortable. We stayed specifically because they had a hot tub which we were looking forward to after a full day of driving. Half the jets worked, which was disappointing.
