Overall I was very pleased with the accommodations at this hotel. Wonderful staff, clean rooms, convenient location. The only thing that made me absolutely crazy during our stay was the amount of pets I seen, not service animals, pets! Even a cat on a leash. Even at the on site hotel I had a family seated next to us with not one, but 2 dogs and one kept jumping on the seat next to mine, and bark and yap under our table-the owners clearly oblivious. My husband and I wondered if there was a convention of some sort going on because we have never experienced so many pets in one hotel at one time.

Property is great. The only complaint was that during a midnight rain storm the AC unit that was positioned under the window would be hit by normal size rain drops that explode with sound. Totally woke us up and didn't allow for us to sleep for hours.
