For a hotel with an empty parking lot, first they refused an early check in. Then after a day at hotel they called room to say they needed to collect 50.00 for our miniature labradoodle to stay. Although website said pets welcome and she is an excellent guest, no shedding, barking and we carefully clean up after her. We decided to check out early. I’ll update as to if we get a refund for the extra night.

We didn't take advantage of the breakfast, but the hotel was amazing. Staff left a little bit to be desired I think for the cost of the room check out times could be later, but outside of that I would give it 5 stars.
