"I wanted to really like this hotel: it's location was wonderful-, in the hills outside of town where there was a cooling breeze, the room was spacious and the bathroom was spa-like--all beautiful marble encasing a shower that had a handheld shower head, a rain shower head, and two jet sprays that soothed my worn out body (I want that shower in my home), and a huge, impressive breakfast buffet. BUT what spoiled it for me were 1) The rustic atmosphere came with roosters that woke me in the morning and 2) the hotel apparently allows people to house their pets in their rooms --The couple in the next room had a dog who barked from 9:00 PM to 10:30PM. I question the hotel management's judgemental on this policy: Besides the questionable cleanliness of pets in rooms (I couldn't help worrying whether an animal had been housed in my room at some prior time and if the room was really as clean as it appeared) I was shocked to think that the hotel management would allow a pet that was a disturbance to the other guests."
