"The rooms that are pet friendly are on first floor with no carpet. I understand why but floors do get a little cold so take slippers. Screens on windows and some furniture could use a little care. Again, I understand not all pet owners are responsible so I know they have to be careful what they put in the rooms. The bed was so comfortable and our room, even being on first floor, was so quiet and peaceful. Smelled amazing as well. Staff was excellent. Friendly and helpful at every encounter. Breakfast was very good, especially on weekends when they have biscuits and gravy. Will definitely stay here again.😊"
