We loved the pet friendliness of this property! It was so convenient to be able to take our dogs out through the sliding door directly into the courtyard instead of through a hallway. The courtyard area was really lovely and breakfast was a nice surprise perk.

Was surprisingly bigger than I thought. Very friendly and welcoming. If I get the chance, I'll certainly stay again. Your bar area was not open though and I would have liked to have a cocktail or two before or even after visiting with friends. Perhaps next time? Thank you.
