Overall positive stay
The staff at the front desk were friendly and helpful. Our room was clean and breakfast was decent. The only negative, which wasn’t the hotel’s fault, was someone smoked marijuana in the room next to us and the smell gave me a severe headache. We were in a non-smoking room.

Good place to stay.
Great property, comfy beds and clean sheets. Has sliding glass doors and a large balcony. Just wish the patio had a mosquito screen so we could have slept with open windows. The air had a bit of a moldy smell to it when we turned it on. Everything else was amazing.

Good stay but concerned
We had a great visit with family because we had a great nights sleep the only issue I had was as we were leaving somewhere across from us a dog started barking and scared me I didn’t know we were on a floor with dogs I think that there should be a separate floor for animals also hoping we weren’t in a room that allowed pets now I know to bring my slippers to wear in the rooms as this is now an issue for me. Love dogs but at the same time uncomfortable with some.
