This is paradise for dogs and their owners. Dog rooms are full suites with massive king beds and a separate living room with two couches and even a free dog bed and bowls. The reception. Has a gift bag with dog toys and treats and poop bags. Dogs are even able to order off a menu in the restaurant to eat with their people. My dog is refusing to go home!
