This place is the most dog friendly hotel I’ve ever been to. I really wanted to like it but our room smelled so heavily of bleach and chemicals, that i left with a sore throat, sinus issues, headache and stomach ache. Whoever they have cleaning the rooms uses so much bleach my mom and i opened all the windows and had the fan on for a full 24 hrs and it still smelled. I complained but nothing was done.
