We did not get the room with a spa we booked instead we had a disability’s room with no spa. When you turned on the heat pump it had a stick like cigarettes. I rate this as poor and I would hope there is some compensation for what room we ended up with on Expedia as it was nothing like what we booked.

This is the 3rd time I’ve stayed at the Hobson. The rooms are a little outdated but everything you need is there. The area around the pool is nice. There is laundry on site which was convenient for me. It’s close enough to the shops that you can easily walk downtown. The staff are excellent; friendly & helpful.
