I stayed in a cottage that has its own hot tub and it was absolute bliss. The perfect weekend getaway.
One of the main reason I chose this hotel was the no pet policy. THANK YOU, Mount View Hotel & Spa. In a world where it's hard to even go to a restaurant or grocery store without having to deal with dogs, I truly appreciate being able to enjoy a hotel stay without pets.
The private hot tub at the cottage is really a whirlpool/large jacuzzi bathtub that's installed outdoors. It's AWESOME. It's doesn't have a heater or thermostat or a cover, so you have to plug it and run the water yourself like you would a bath, then drain it after you're done each time. Once you're in there, with the jets on, it feels just like a regular hot tub except you have the whole thing to yourself!
The cottage is extremely clean, updated, and well appointed. I appreciate the touches such as the espresso maker, complimentary filtered water station, easy to use window blinds, great bath products, mini fridge/wet bar, wine opener, and warm/comfy robes. Truly, the robes are spectacularly warm, not just a cover-up. The pool and spa area is perfect. Both are perfectly heated, and there are plenty of places to sit and recline. The geothermal mineral hot tub is nice and big. The pool is huge.
I appreciated the text early in the day that my room was ready early. That was a nice surprise!
Garbage pickup in adjacent alley woke me up this morning. Only complaint at all and not a huge deal. It's a town.
