Great stay

We had a great time over all. If there were 1 area that needed improvement it would be the summery of the quoted price. Particularly in the pet department. This place is animal friendly like they advertise in bold letters. They ask how many pets, what weight they are ect. Then quote the total price of which you find out 1 day before arrival that the additional pet fee was not included in the quoted price and is now extra. For this shady sneak we will not be back.
