9.2/10 Wonderful! (1,184 reviews)
Great hotel. You can tell a lot of attention to details and great effort was paid to the remodel. Feels much nicer than pictures do justice. Also, very very dog friendly and accommodating staff. It’s particularly nice that there aren’t added fees for small pets.

The room was nice and clean. They need soft close toilets … makes for a lot of loud bangs when your used to the others. If you book through Expedia you don’t get IHG points evidently. Something you should be more upfront about or negotiate the points into your deal with them.
