We have stayed here a few times now with our Jack Russell. So many guests have dogs here and you would never know it! They are more well beyond quieter than some guests! The staff are always incredible and this hotel is very clean. Breakfast is great also. We will stay here again when we return to the area.

Staff courteous. Hotel is cleanly kept with neat rooms with good space. Late evening staffer was very welcoming and helpful. Jose was also very helpful and welcoming over the phone prior to our arrival. Breakfast was a pleasant surprise, although took a little while (20+min) to refill empty hot foods trays.
