"The Spa is OUTSTANDING."
TripAdvisor user rating 5.0 out of 5
Reviewed January 31, 2025 NEW
The Spa is outstanding. Calm, low lit, and smells lovely. Once you are led back to the changing rooms, you find a fluffy white robe and sandals waiting, as well as a locker. All the toiletries you might need, including a razor or feminine products, plus a shower are waiting. Use what you want and then exit to find a staff member waiting on you to show you to the communal relaxing waiting room. Comfy chairs and chaises, water, music, low lights and candles--amazing and sets you up for your spa experience by relaxing you ahead of time. I had the 80 min lavender balm massage with Jessi. She was polite, knowledgeable, gifts, and friendly. I really enjoyed my experience. Highly recommend as a woman over 40. Very high caliber experience.

"Hotel Contessa: false room advertising"
TripAdvisor user rating 1.0 out of 5
Reviewed January 30, 2025 NEW
After browsing several hotels online I decided to book Hotel Contessa for a getaway for myself, my husband, and my son. We decided to book a King room online because the listing for the room says that it "Sleeps 3." The listing picture shows a king bed and a couch in the room, and so I thought that the couch must be a pull-out sofa since the listing says the room sleeps 3. To confirm, I emailed the hotel after booking and asked where the sleeping accommodation would be for the third person- did the couch pull out or did they provide a rollaway bed? The hotel wrote me back a few hours later to say that no, the couch did not pull out and that no, they do not provide rollaway beds. They told me, "some guests say that they don't mind sleeping on top of the couch for shorter stays." I was shocked that they would even be allowed to advertise the room as "sleeps 3" when in reality there is not an actual bed provided for a 3rd person and it truly only sleeps 2. There is no way in the world I would have booked this hotel if I knew one of us would be sleeping on the couch. We aren't couch sleepers- we sleep on beds and expect a good night sleep when paying a lot of money to stay at a hotel. We are expecting to get what is advertised when booking a hotel that says it sleeps 3. At this point, why not say that your rooms "Sleep 12" and then we can all just sleep on the floor? That's basically what this hotel is saying. After multiple back and forth attempts by us to cancel this non-refundable room (based on their misleading advertising) the management of the hotel would not back down. We ended up taking this all the way up the chain- through the hotel booking website and then all the way to our credit card company.... contesting this hotel as fraudulent/false advertising. We will now be staying somewhere different that actually has beds for 3 people to sleep in and I will plan to let anyone who plans to stay here what an absolute scam it is.

Had a great time staying at the hotel as always. We actually got married there in May 2024 and was nothing but a first class stay, so this time was no exception, the stay was great. They even gave us a complimentary champagne and strawberries as a gift.

"A pretty bad experience"
TripAdvisor user rating 1.0 out of 5
Reviewed January 29, 2025 NEW
The good? the size of the rooms is nice. That's about it. I didn't want to have to do this, but I have been ghosted by the manager. I had two rooms for a weekend stay. One room had no hot water. The other room had no working TVs. There were no towels at the pool for us to use, causing my husband to spend most of his pool time going to the room to get us some. We had an expensive item stolen. It was proven to be stolen when I spoke to HR. They offered cash back on the rooms which they did not have to do, and I do appreciate. However, they did offer to pay me for the stolen item, to which I accepted. I dug out the receipt and sent it to them. I heard nothing for more than two weeks and sent a follow up email. I heard nothing back from them again. I dropped it, as we have already replaced the item. But I will never stay here again. If you choose to, just protect your valuables, and the safe won't help you!
