Very good

The bar was closed both nights due to not having staff show up to work…during the Memorial Day weekend. There was a dog that pooped on the carpet and the floor on the second floor. They were overbooked, however the customer service was outstanding and their rooms were very clean and updated. My bad experience was a one off… if it wasn’t for that it would have been a perfect stay.
