I just finished a stay here and there is no longer a hot tub.
They had a whirlpool / hottub as of September 2018. Both the pool and hot tub are on the small side but plenty big enough for kids or to soak for a bit. Generally this hotel is a bit threadbare compared to other Spring Hill properties I've stayed in. It was clean, but needed to be updated.
There was a hot tub when I stayed, but it was not functional. That may be what the staff member was talking about (that was over 6 months ago, but it could still be broken).
