Oh, I almost forgot. There was some confusion at check-out, regarding the pet deposit and whether or not it was refundable. They tried to not give us back half of our pet deposit, and I figured some of you might have had a similar problem. So I wanted to post the snippet from the original hotel confirmation. We ended up getting half our deposit back after asking for the manager, but if they did not give you half your deposit back, you have some verbiage to quote to get it back...
Note below, I'll bold and color the important part
