The Dogs have taken over.. No respect for those of us afraid of them and were there for a relaxing time. They were jumping on us as we were getting coffee in the lobby, barking in elevators and barking in the night.. Just disgusting. They were even allowed on the furniture and in eating areas!

All of the staff was extremely outgoing and wanted to make sure we had the best stay possible. We loved the room - very clean and the bed was very comfortable. The only thing I would say that could be improved is notifying people that they had an option to park without using the valet service and if they chose to use it there would be a daily fee.
