Had 1 night's stay but 4th floor room & inadequate space 4 dog relief didn't meet our expectatations
Pros:

The hotel was located conveniently off the highway. The restaurant was nice and the included breakfast very tasty and filling. We had dinner in the restaurant as well and the food was very good.

Cons:

We had requested a first floor room as we were traveling with a pet but sadly were given a 4th floor room. The space for pottying our pet was not adequate with just a small patch of artificial turn and the rest of the space rock. Our dog had great difficulty relieving themself in a space where many other dogs had also relieved themselves.
