Disliked: Room comfort
They say they are pet-friendly, but parties with pets are relegated to a non-view building. To be in the room I had reserved I had to pay extra, with dire warnings that if we didn't "behave" they would move us. After a nice patio dinner up the walk (at Cliff hotel - very nice and pet-friendly) we came back to our room, only to be kept awake by the people above us moving about, showering, flushing, we heard everything! Our pup couldn't settle, so at 11pm we packed up everything and drove 3 hours home. We were there a whole 5 hours. What a waste.
