Positive: It's a beautiful hotel in a great location. We travel with a small dog and the extras to make a pet feel welcome were much appreciated. The Veranda was a good spot for drinks and food.
Negative: Pets are not allowed to stay in the room unattended. However the Veranda doesn't open until 11:00 There's no where to go for breakfast and it's too hot to leave a pet in your vehicle.
Summary: It was a wonderful stay. We hope to return and will certainly recommend it.
