Room very small for three adults we had to single file around the unit. Excellent shower pressure and very clean. We didnt know it was dog friendly until unfortunately two dogs had a fight outside our unit. We would not have stayed here if we had known about the dog friendly status. Would be interesting to know if some rooms are dedicated dog friendly or its just the look of the draw?
