Summary: The check in process was easy, along with finding our room. The patio was dirty, full of leaves and dirt. The room, however, was clean, well maintained, and comfortable. A second roll of toilet paper is necessary and should have been in the room. The fridge took a few minutes to figure out, microwave only available upon request. We did pay to have an EV spot reserved but the EV spots are very tight and make it an interesting challenge to get in and out of the car next to other cars. I believe that The Sparrow used to have water bowls and doggie poo bags in the room the last time we stayed- but they do not anymore. Those were awesome amenities when we brought our dog.
