My husband and I were traveling with our two dogs for a dog competition and chose to stay here. We stayed in the one-bedroom suite so that the dogs would have plenty of room. The suite was huge! It felt like having our own apartment rather than a hotel room. It even had an extra half-bath and a jacuzzi tub in the full bath. The staff was very polite and helpful. The only thing that was slightly disappointing was the breakfast. The breakfast that they provide is fine, but at $12/person, it isn't any better than the continental breakfast that is included at no additional charge at places like La Quinta and Best Western.

The beds were way too stiff. We were put in a handicap room, so that may have something to do with it. The shower had no curtains because of the handicap access needs. No ventilation in the bathroom. Worst sleep I had all week. Staff dresses in everyday street cloths and spends alot of time on cellphones. They were helpful when you got their attention though. Nobody was rude. One more thing, there was nowhere to hand a bath towel, that was anoying.
