This hotel would not make accommodations after our booking and just cancelled our stay with them. Then told us there was nothing they could do for us. Manager hid back in a little room and employee had to go back there to ask questions because he was obviously new. Also we could hear everything they were saying. So really no point in not coming out. Put the employee in a very awkward situation.

There was a musty smell in the room when I first entered but it either went away quickly or I got use to it. I wished the mini fridge had a freezer compartment so I could re-freeze my cold packs for my cooler. It was an accessible room so there wasn’t any counter space in the bathroom, just a flimsy wire rack. The hotel is next door to the Farmhouse Kitchen BBQ which was very good. The continental breakfast was mainly bread options, cold cereal and waffles. But if you look in the mini fridge there are Jimmy Dean breakfast croissants that you can microwave which I really enjoyed.

The hotel was great and the staff were very friendly. We travel with our two dogs and we're given doggy welcome bags upon check in containing a few doggy treats and a doggy bag (literally) to pick up waste should it occur. This is the only hotel we have stayed in that has a doggy park, which ours so enjoyed.
