Advertised as pet friendly. Resort called to confirm reservation about 2 days prior to arrival and verbally re-confirmed pet friendly. When we arrived, after check in, informed that pets were not allowed!!! Cancellation ensued and search for new location to stay commenced without assistance from lodging.

Evening staff was friendly, helpful and welcoming. The overnight staff who replaced him was frumpy, no kindness and looked like he hated his life. Glad he was not the person who checked in guests I probably would have walked out the door.

The room was huge and was exactly like the photos/description said but being in room #112, you can literally hear EVERYTHING that goes on it the lobby area and the hallway. In the middle of the night, we heard stomping or something above us, which kept us awake. The room was also very uncomfortably hot! Even after turning the AC on in the end of November!! The staff was friendly and check in and check out were smooth but please do something about the thickness of your walls/doors!
