I have a service animal. That was no problem. They would probably charge for pet normally, clean room easy access. Good price,The only thing that was disappointing was the breakfast. But it's so reasonable it didn't really matter to me.

You get what you pay for. My husband and I love we have a place to crash for a night or two. It has clean comfortable rooms and beds. We have stayed a few times and will probably stay again. My only criticism is they advertise continental breakfast, which I don’t expect much but coffee is a must. Even after I told the employee the machine was out of coffee it wasn’t filled.
