Stay in pet friendly rooms about 4times a year . The convenience of the sliding doors right to pet pathway is genius (where most places you have to walk penthouse hotel to get outdoors ). The hardwood floor option works best for pet hotels as I have a hypoallergenic dog and anytime I’ve stayed anywhere else (carpets) has been an issue. Reasonable pricing

Overall I really enjoyed my stay. The room was comfortable, stream side was beautiful, the night club and restaurants definitely give you activity at night, they even had a band play which was cool. Only problem is I was really looking forward to the indoor pool which was freezing. I wasn’t sure if it was supposed to be a pool or a extremely large cold plunge. The staff tries their best. It’s a pretty old property so it could use some TLC. But I will return.

My room was on the top floor of the tower part, the elevator was right next to my room and was so loud when being used it rumbled the room! When I got into my room I noticed 2 flys buzzing around I killed then with a towel on the window, as soon as I killed them more flys came in I don’t know where from, I killed 9 in total, weird!
