The Hotel Hot Springs
O quarto não era limpo. Muita poeira e a limpeza do banheiro péssima. As roupas de cama não estavam boas e estavam encardidas. Sinceramente não gostei deste hotel. Não voltaria

Arlington Resort Hotel and Spa
The hotel says it’s under construction and gosh does it need to be! Our bathroom was falling apart badly. The king bed frame was very noisy - Along with the neighbors bed - banging loudly against our wall!! Staff was pleasant but not very interested in our room review during checkout
