Not sure I'd recommend staying here. The walls are so thin you'll hear the beds squeak in your neighbors room, upon check in time the rooms weren't ready. Got changed to another room that also wasn't ready so I came back a hour later. Soda machines were out of stock on a few drinks. Im glad its pet friendly, and the jetted tub was nice.
