We booked a pet room at the Serene Hotel before reading any of the TripAdvisor reviews for our anniversary weekend in June. This was a mistake…we were worried but decided to give the hotel the benefit of the doubt. After checking in and seeing the hotel and room, we immediately left. I was able to negotiate a refund of our... more

I DO NOT RECOMMEND THIS HOTEL AT ALL. STAY AWAY FROM IT. I konw it is pick season during the summer and we are always trying to save money specially with this economy, but I think paying over $400 dollars and to have to live this experience it is not worth it or fair. The hotel welcomes pets. I have... more
