the property says its dog friendly but I felt it was more dogs allowed. They were watering the lawn a lot which made it difficult to take your dog on the lawn to do "its business". the outdoor firepits and patio are were nice. Rooms were fine.

I love the HCML! The facilities are set up for relaxing with a book or gathering with friends. There’s a very cool lounge-y bar, outdoor seating with fire tables, a nice pool, and a grassy games area. It’s hard to imagine a simple hotel presenting as a resort style stay, but HCML has pulled it off.

We had a great stay! The rooms are nicely decorated, fairly clean, and the beds were super comfortable. The decor throughout the hotel is really cute and gives it a cozy charm. The shower could use a little TLC, but it didn’t take away from the overall experience. The staff were all very friendly and helpful, which made us feel welcome right away. The on-site food was absolutely delicious but just a bit on the pricier side. The pool area was lovely, perfect for relaxing after a day out. Do note that it can get a little loud at times since the train passes right behind the hotel, but the location is super convenient and just a short drive to downtown. All in all, a very enjoyable stay and we’d definitely come back!

Worst experience

Even when the amenities and aesthetics of this hotel are pretty good. Customer Service is really bad: I booked a pool view room, tried to check in earlier (12:30pm) and the front desk lady said room wasn't ready until 4pm, we left and came back at 4pm, however, room wasn't still ready, waiting 30 min more and to my surprise I was given a WALL view room (picture attached) and just giving the explanation that the hotel was completely booked and didn't have any other room available, even when I explained I was there earlier, and they could at least advise me of the change of rooms, the front desk lady at the time just said: "she was taking the shift and didn't know anything about earlier". In a spite of the terrible service, we decided to stay because we had a whole itinerary planned for the weekend. And sadly, it just got worse, in the middle of the night the A/C wasn't working properly, making the room really hot and when I lower the temperature it started to make a horrible noise that didn't let us sleep the whole night. I contacted Hotels.com and got the pool view extra charge refunded and the hotel didn't a $20 fee they supposed to charge at the hotel, but the bad experience of having to go through all these issues when I only wanted to have a relaxed weekend with my family doesn't really worth the refund. I also advise of the AC malfunctioning in the morning and they just said they'll check on it, to got me thinking that that room wasn't really up to use in the first place

Always a great experience here. Staff is great, great food and bartenders are great, kind and gracious. A side note to people reading this…. I personally witnessed people ordering 4 espresso martinis and numerous other drinks and either tip the bar 1$ or NOT tip at all!!! Shame on people who see how hard they work and NOT tip well but use the excuse…. “I’m broke dude”….. well how about NOT order 50$ with of drinks to begin with? Treat the Staff at HCML better!!!
