Pros: There wasn't anything we didn't like about the hotel. It was great. Exceptional overall experience.
Cons: The staff was amazing, very professional and friendly. The only thing I can say is that we brought our dog and there wasn't really anywhere to take her to use the bathroom..... But that's ok. Also $100.00 is pretty steep for a pet fee. I never received a notice that would be the deal when I booked the stay.

Cons: Hidden fees! There were ridiculous hidden amenities fees. Also- the towels were visibly dirty. Staff was not very friendly. They closed their cafe early- but kept the sign on. We waited for service that didn’t come- they just made some decisions that were not considerate to their guests.

Pros: If you need a full kitchen and a patio for your animal this is the place to stay. It is a little bit outdated but very comfortable. We stayed for four nights and were taken care of with every little need. There were three beds in this one bedroom condo. The only downside is the bedroom does not have a TV but it does have a king size bed. The living room has two queen beds, dining room table, and fully stocked kitchen. We were only two people but this would be perfect for six people.

Pros: The location is perfect, anything you might need is within an easy walk. Parking is included, which covers the rest.
