We appreciate being able to bring our dog and being charged a reasonable pet fee. Room was very clean and bed was extremely comfortable.

Clean room. Night clerk Friday not very friendly. Day clerk Saturday at checkout amazingly friendly. No soap in hand dispenser in bathroom. Bathroom sink faucet loose and not attached to the counter. Vending machine broken and not many snacks at front desk.
