excellent dog-friendly stay
spacious room clean room helpful staff
i stayed for four nights and found the staff friendly and always happy to help. the rooms are spacious, clean, and comfortable. i always come away feeling relaxed and looking forward to planning my next visit. the rooms are large, super clean and cozy.
The dog exercise area was a lovely addition. i think more shaded spots could be added for hotter days.

Adequate stay, some issues to note
dated furniture disorganized service
The room i stayed in felt rather dated. It wasn't terrible, but the furniture looked worn and the decor reminded me of it hadn't been updated in years. the breakfast service was a little disorganized. One morning, I had to wait quite a while for coffee, and some of the buffet items were not replenished promptly. It left me somewhat disappointed.
