Great service. I have multiple chemical sensitivity and get very sick from common fragrances and cleaning products. The staff cleaned my room with nontoxic alternatives before my arrival to accommodate me. The laundry products they use also left very little scent so I was able to stay safely. The staff were all helpful and kind. The room was clean and had everything we needed. My only suggestion is that they have some different pillow choices. The ones they have are way too thick and made it hard for me to sleep until I used blankets and towels for pillows instead.

As always we had a great stay (2nights) the only issue we had is I think the chemicals may be a bit off in the pool. Our swimsuit smelt horrible after they dried.

The hotel itself was fine- good location, clean, a little outdated but that gave it some character. The mattress in our room was HORRIBLE. New mattresses would be a huge help!

For a hotel with an empty parking lot, first they refused an early check in. Then after a day at hotel they called room to say they needed to collect 50.00 for our miniature labradoodle to stay. Although website said pets welcome and she is an excellent guest, no shedding, barking and we carefully clean up after her. We decided to check out early. I’ll update as to if we get a refund for the extra night.
