Great breakfast but little seating so we took our breakfast to the room or outside on the glider. VERY convenient location. They charge $25 per night extra to have a dog. (We have a 9lb little one so not sure if it’s prorated per size?). Great ADA accessible rooms!!!

Bed was comfortable, room was clean, shower was nice, had a refrigerator with a small freezer. The staff was great. Breakfast was ok. The room is a little small but had everything we needed. Just wish there was more room for our belongings because the tv took up most of the space on the desk.
