I suppose it depnds on what you expect when you think "spa". Obviosuly, many here thing the traditonal, European spa with mineral baths and all that.

For Americans, we usually think of places that have fancy message treatments and things like that. That is what *I* think of, so I wasn't at all dissapointed when I went to the Ritz-Calton Huntighton Hotel in Pasadena. If that is what you think and expect and a hotel says they have "a spa" and its just a message table, being dissapointed is understandable.
