10/10 Excellent
"The room was very clean. The beds were comfortable. The breakfast had lots of options and was very good. The staff, especially the breakfast ladies, were so kind. This is the first time we've stayed in a hotel with our pets. We weren't sure what to expect, but we were very pleased with our accommodations. We would definitely stay here again. "
