"Unfortunately we were awaken at 7 a.m. by a barking dog in the next room. When we told the front staff they said they contacted the dog's owner and they were coming back to the hotel.... This was at 9:30 a.m. The poor dog was left alone. The staff said their policy is that dogs not be left in the alone. So 2 1/2 hours of listening to the dog bark loudly. Not a great experience."
