Acceptable Stay, Some Issues
heated pooldelicious foodlimited parkingongoing venue
The pool was heated. It was nice after a day of travelling. The restaurant food was delicious. I would stay again for that reason. The room was kept well. Robes were a nice plus.
My reservation indicated a dog friendly room and the receptionist said there would be a charge. It indicated a lower amount online. The receptionist agreed to honor the online amount. My room faced a bar and wedding venue. Parking was limited because of wedding guests.
