Not the season for the pool. I was there for work so I personally wouldn’t be able to say but there were others enjoying the bar.

Pool was down, but we didn't care and had no plans to use it. The room was a vast improvement over the last hotel we had been staying at, and was clean. Breakfast was simple and good, the staff was helpful and chill. Only complaint was that the shower was cold, like room temperature at most.
