During the check in process I asked the front desk person if my room is pet free since my daughter has serious allergies. I was assured that toom is pet and smoke free. We ended up with sleepless night due to allergic reaction to dog hair that was all ovet the room. I saw that next morning during daylight. I took videos of pet hair on the side of the bed and red chair. I showed to the front desk person. She called another emplyee and they just shrug their shoulders. Apologized for poor cleaning and said they have to let service animals in. They offered me discount and I said it is not needed. I was just glad my daughter is alive. I don’t think my complaint was taken seriously. There should be designated rooms for pets just like they are for smoking.

Staff did their jobs; I had a good night rest for the most part & enjoyed the jetted tub a lot; Did not care much for the quality of the breakfast, but there’s indeed food options surrounding the area to accommodate; I would stay again for sure

Ive booked the same hot tub room twice so far, and each time the front desk staff was horrible. Not personable, nor professional, to even the smallest degree. Do not like the front desk staff AT ALL. Please replace with friendlier people who actually greet you when you walk in!!!

This is a decently clean place to stay. The lady we checked in with was very friendly. Our room was reasonably clean. My complaint is that the coffee pot in our room was disgusting; pretty sure they don’t clean the carafe, and the heating plate was filthy with spilled and burned coffee.
