Staff was not as friendly as in prior stays at the property. Although when we made the reservation several weeks before our stay and requested accommodation for our dog, upon arrival was told there was nothing available and we had not requested a pet friendly room. Had to wait a few hours for an available room and they tried to charge us extra for our dog. We will probably not stay there again.
