What a wonderful honeymoon we had. It’s a VERY dog friendly hotel however it’s actually really clean and nice. We have experienced either mediocre dog friendly hotels or really nice beautiful hotels that no pets were allowed in so this was such a treat!! They thought I everything! We had chilled champagne waiting for us, two dog bows, dog towels, dog mats, poop bags, ect. Was just a beautiful location with wonderful people. We absolutely LOVED IT!! Thank you!!
