"The room was very clean and we loved the affordability & pet friendly with a nice little convenient dog park! We went to the bar and had late snacks and a cocktail and walked to our room! We will be back! (If we could make a couple of suggestions….the saloon doors to the bathroom area were extremely squeaky but we loved their look… and a night light in the vanity area would be amazing!)"
