We had our dog with us, and were expecting a less than stellar room. We were pleasantly surprised, the room was fantastic! ALL of the staff were super friendly and helpful. We were hoping this was a chain hotel so we could stay there on further travels. Unfortunately, not a hotel chain, but we sure do recommend it highly. The dinner from the restaurant was excellent as well, priced reasonably too. I DO recommend this hotel, we would certainly stay there again.

Nice enough hotel. Food was okay. The staff were very friendly. I am baffled that they do not include bottled water in the rooms. This would not be too bad if the tap water so was not so heavily chlorinated. If you typically drink water before bed or during the night then make sure you bring water with you.
