I don’t recommend this property if you are traveling with a pet. Unfortunately there is limited space to walk a dog around. Otherwise the property was clean. Close to restaurants and other amenities.

The food was good, and both the room and service were excellent. The only drawback was that the hot tub didn’t work during our stay. It would have been nice to receive a message about this before our arrival. Other than that, everything was great!
