"pet-friendly room, and they know it's my partner's bday so they upgraded us to the highest floor. They didn't have to do that but they did. And they provided us with a list of recomended things to do and eat. Very helpful. The only this is the water bottle is not refreshed during the stay, but they have a nice water filling station next to the lobby. Great alternative to be green and didn cause any trouble at all."
