The hotel was under construction - I was not aware construction was going on prior to my check in. There was pet hair all over the bedding and floor. My son is allergic to cats and was absolutely miserable with sneezing and congestion! The dove hand cream that was provided in the bathroom was used

Property is attractive and clean. Had multiple issues with getting into my room due to problems with the key card reader. Depending on whom you speak with, the answers vary from this never happens to its old and needs to be replaced. Since i witnessed it happen to 2 others, it needs an upgrade. Sink in bath was backed up and repair was handled quickly. After multiple issues, we were moved to another room. Many hotels in the area include free parking and breakfast. This had neither. Will look to stay elsewhere on my next trip to the area.
