I had a mostly positive experience at this hotel. The rooms were spacious and clean, which made my stay comfortable. However, I faced some issues with the dog amenities that left my wife disappointed. The location was perfect, allowing us to easily explore local attractions, but the dining experience at the brew pub wasn't great due to poor service. Overall, it's a nice place with some room for improvement.
