The hotel's FAQ confirms dog-friendly rooms with fee and deposit but is silent on dining, bar, outdoor tables and the unattended policy; the hotel has been asked to confirm all of these. A third-party listing says dogs are not permitted in dining outlets.

Where we can't yet confirm a detail first-hand, we mark it plainly rather than guess. A Daisy stay will close every gap.
