REVIEWS: yelp

NOTE: My desire to avoid stagnant water and its related health issues precludes me from giving you a first person account of this joint. However, I’d like to point out a glaring discrepancy between yelp reviews and pictures on The Hot Tubs website.  Either you believe in the pretty photos (which could be stock images and/or outdated) or the online allegations of sanitation and temperature control problems. Roll the dice.
