It was really good. The room was clean and beautiful. The bed and pillows were so comfy.
Pros:

The room was exceptional- clean, I love how you have dove soap and not just cheap soap. The bed was super comfortable.
The only small issue was my remote didn't work- probably needed batteries but I was too tired to watch TV anyways.
Oh and I loved the floor to basically ceiling windows.

Cons:

So, my room was facing the road. And it was noisy. Not much that you can do about that but I had to wear my earbuds all night long. But even with that being said, I would still recommend this place and Id stay again. Oh and from being out of town, I wasn't sure where to even park at to check in, so I just pulled over in the no parking zone and went in.

Booking. Com Disappointment
Pros:

I never stayed because the Booking.com app showed thus location as pet friendly through the filter tool. I called the location directly and they advised that they weren't pet friendly and the hotel cancelled the reservation without penalty. However they advised that Booking.com has to issue the refund. I have spent multiple hours, and have had almost $500 charged against my checking account. Please refund immediately if you want me to utilize Booking,com in the future.

The perfect place to stay, clean, friendly and reasonable.
Pros:

Location, staff, cleanliness.

Cons:

The ONLY thing I didn’t like was the oatmeal in the morning was way too thin. I love a good bowl of oatmeal on vacation and it was the only thing I was disappointed with.
