They say they are pet-friendly, but parties with pets are relegated to a non-view building. To be in the room I had reserved I had to pay extra, with dire warnings that if we didn't "behave" they would move us. After a nice patio dinner up the walk (at Cliff hotel - very nice and pet-friendly) we came back to our room, only to be kept awake by the people above us moving about, showering, flushing, we heard everything! Our pup couldn't settle, so at 11pm we packed up everything and drove 3 hours home. We were there a whole 5 hours. What a waste.

The TV didn’t work for our stay. We were told that if we rented movies that they would not be charged because we had no tv however they were charged and I had to go to the lobby to have them refunded at our check out. I was charged twice for the parking fees which are ridiculous to begin with and when I tried to speak with the person at the front desk about it, she dismissed me as if I was lying. Now I have to go to American Express for a refund for the additional $20 for two nights of parking. The carpets were filthy, our feet were black just walking in the room. Despite the hotel being mostly empty these few days, we were placed in a room directly next to the housekeeping closets. There was a ton of noise and there housekeeping carts blocking the way to our room both days when we came back from lunch and dinner. Honestly I’m extremely disappointed especially because this hotel came recommended by someone. We won’t be staying here again.
