Nice, cute, dog friendly hotel. I would definitely stay here again.
Pros:

It’s a really cute little hotel. There is a bar and restaurant onsite. It is dog friendly. They were very welcoming and sweet toward my dog. They have food, drinks and toiletries for sale in the lobby. The staff were very nice.

Pros:

아침식사는 만족했지만 금액이 Book.com에서 알려 준 금액과 현지에서의 호텔에서 요구하는 금액이 차이가 있어서 당혹스러웠습니다.

The night attendant was very nice and professional.

Definitely not the experience we were looking for
Pros:

I feel like if you're paying a couple hundred dollars a night to stay in a hotel, you should be notified that they are doing remodeling that makes it difficult to get to and from your actual room. You should also be notified ahead of time that they are charging you $20 to park in a regular parking lot...seems a bit ridiculous, they didn't park my car for me and we weren't informed of this in advance. We won't be back

Cons:

Communication of fees such as parking as well as letting us know that the area was all under remodel
