An impeccably clean modern hotel with accommodating staff and a welcome lack of kids (no one under 21 is allowed in the spa area, and since the spa is the main attraction of the hotel, families with children probably wouldn't choose this place first).
The hotel advertises thermal "springs" but the water is regular city water heated below the pool area and pumped into various soaking/swimming pools. Chemicals are added to the pools, resulting in a discernible smell. The limitation on the number of guests in the spa/pool area at any given time is a real plus; the area was never crowded, and the "silence" policy created a serene atmosphere. At $100 for three hours of access which even hotel guests must pay, the price seems high to me. There is also a sizable resort "amenity" fee on top of the pay-to-soak spa policy; it is unclear what, if any, additional amenities are offered for that fee.
The rooms are clean, uncluttered, and furnished in an eco-Ikea aesthetic with materials that look a lot like particleboard. I did appreciate the fridge, sink, and mini-kitchen, which allowed us to heat up simple meals in the room. And the fact that the room had a washer/dryer was really nice.
The price to value ratio was not compelling for me, but I do want to thank the amazing staff who were uniformly kind, helpful, and authentically friendly.
