Positive: As someone with moderate chronic asthma that’s triggered by various common airborne allergens, I’m always concerned about whether I’ll be able to breathe through the night when staying in a hotel. I messaged ahead letting them know this, especially since it’s a dog-friendly hotel, and they responded quickly & attentively, saying they’d do everything they could to minimise. The staff were kind & helped us out with check-in arrangements (we were there for a wedding, that started before check-in time, and finished after it!) - definitely recommend calling ahead if you’re in a similar situation. They actually made it so that our room was one that wasn’t booked/stayed in the night before, so that it was already ready without any extra arrangements the morning we arrived. This was such a relief for us because we had luggage that we couldn’t bring to the wedding! It was also incredibly helpful for my asthma because it meant an extra day of airing out from any previous guests, and I had very little trouble overnight compared to most of my hotel experiences. Additionally, the bed was *enormous*, I’ve never seen anything like it! A very comfortable night’s sleep. Thank you to all the staff, for making our stay as stress-free as possible ❤️
Negative: These aren’t complaints, only suggestions: The bathroom lighting would benefit from being less bright/white - or if there were an option for a small mirror light or similar? The shower could have done with a bit of fixing, as a lot of the water didn’t make it to the nozzles and was instead coming out of the connector to the hose. To be fair, it wasn’t something that bothered us enough to pester the staff about it, and we were only staying for one night so it wasn’t a problem for us. The water was still a good temperature and we had enough towels which were clean & fresh.
Summary: Comfortable & clean
