    Breakfast attendant was so sweet she even sent me with an extra gluten free muffin! Alot of choices if you aren’t celiac, wish they had bacon though. Front desk had treats for my puppies. Texas Roadhouse and Applebees were both super accessible. I’m a stickler for cleanliness, our room was clean but someone skipped the vacuum and it was VERY obvious. I do wish they’d enforce the pet policies a little stronger, I shouldn’t have to side step others piles while cleaning up after my own. Overall I think we’ll stay again!
