If you are expecting a nice, comfortable and relaxing visit, don't stay here. The facility is not clean. We requested a 'pet free' room and received a room that stunk of cat spray and was covered in fur. Carpets, bedspreads, drapes. It was a very unpleasant experience. We were not able to stay but a few hours due to a pet allergy we informed them of ahead of time. We were promised the cats did not visit the rooms, but that wasn't the case. After driving 10 hours from Florida with two kids, we had to leave a few hours into the visit as two of my family members woke up after just a few hours with reactions to the excessive amount of dander in the rooms. As if that wasn't bad enough, I was asked by the owner 'not to allow' my 2 year old to use the bed. They asked that we place him on the floor as he was still in diapers! I couldn't belive that. The cats are allowed to spray everywhere but a toddler has to sleep on the floor because he is still in diapers. I guess they haven't realized that diapers are quite absorbent these days!

Pros: No pros there

Cons: Not worth the money, Not for families, Not clean
