Don’t stay here unless you are looking for an over priced run down motel that hasn’t been updated in decades. The pics look nice- but it’s not. Smells like smoke. Dogs barking all night. Terrible beds.

I liked that the sheets were clean, bed was comfortable, and it was pet friendly. The staff was nice. The fridge was filthy w/mold, cigarette ashes on the desk drawer and the floor needed a better sweep. Suggestion: Maybe have a destination for dogs to go to the bathroom and something that holds poop bags and have a trash can right by the poop bag dispenser.

I paid for a single king size bed, got a standard double bed. The first room they gave us keys to was already occupied, the room they gave us was a single, double size bed. No one at the desk for check out so we couldn't dispute the room change. Not satisfied with this hotel and how it is run.
