The pool was pleasant and heated. Spa was also nicely heated. It was very nice to be able to bring our dog as it was pet friendly. We saw many dogs there as well. They also provided doggie poop bags and there are grassy areas to take dogs to pottie outside. They also have EV charging which was free, but the employee said they were changing it to paid charging soon. The location was a bit noisy for us, as the freeway was behind the hotel. And the refrigerator was loud too. It goes on and off with the cooling causing a loud noise. For the loudness of this location, I’m not sure I would stay again.
