Not as expected

Plumbing issues in 1st room, so they moved us to another after a half hour, then the 2nd room had no towels. The remote was sticky and the breakfast room had stains dripping down wall. We will likely not return.

Beautiful new property with clean and VERY spacious rooms. The continental breakfast was beyond expectation. However, they claimed this was a NO Pet facility and we had a dog barking most of the night in the room next door. The bark was clearly a small breed and NOT a service animal. Also, there is VERY limited parking and both nights we had to park a fair distance from the hotel
