The queen room was nice and clean upon arrival. But I booked a King room on Expedia and when checking in the nice registrar did not mention that I had booked a King room and put us in the queen room. I would assume it was because of our dog because we couldn't have the king room. The rest of our stay was pleasant.

Overall the hotel was descent. We did miss the breakfast so no comment, however we would have referred waffles over pancakes offered. The only issued we had was the rust in the corners of the tub. Also, the tub was small which made hard to stand in plus the bottom was very slippery which made it very dangerous. We did notify the front deck when we left,

We used the Expedia APP, filtered for pet friendly, booked a king suite. Got here, and of course, no king suite, just a normal room for pets. Pet friendly was a bit unclear on the APP. So we paid more for a king suite, but never got it.

Thumbs up

Room was clean, staff was pleasant. Breakfast was good but items weren’t replenished in a timely manner. I think they may have been understaffed so that’s understandable.
