    We had the misfortune of staying here right after our house burned to the ground in the middle of this winter. The rooms were very comfortable, not quite spotless and the shower seat was covered in what i really hope was old mud. But spacious, bright, and extremely comfortable bed. Shower was great. If the water pressure was any higher it would have blasted a hole in me. Perfect amenities, nice warm pool, clean gym etc. Sadly the staff were incredibly rude to me and made me feel very unwelcome, in the middle of one of the hardest moments of our lives. But I'm grown so I didn't really think that was a huge deal. Next morning I tried to extend our stay by one night, to which I was told the entire hotel is full. So my husband called them pretending he wanted to book a room, and they simply asked one or two nights sir? Jeez... We didn't trash the room, we were quiet and minded our business, pleasant when checking in .. so I have no idea why but I guess my money just aint no good!

    This was a nice hotel, the staff were nice however since it is a pet friendly hotel I think there was pet dander still in the room from a different stay. I would feel fine throughout the day but once I got to this hotel I would start not feeling well ( nose stopped up, coughing, eyes itching ) and then once I would leave I was fine. I’m allergic to pet dander so that’s why I think that’s what this is. I had that issue Friday night and I felt better Saturday and then I stayed here Saturday night and when I woke up Sunday I was very sick. Unlike Saturday it did not go away once I left the hotel. It has now been three days and I am still sick. It was a nice hotel but I will never stay here again because I feel like crap still.
