A really nice hotel. They do allow dogs and we had quite a bit of barking in our floor about 9-10pm. I am not sure if we got into the pet wing but it would be nice I not have dogs on the same floor.

Staff was efficient, checkin was fast. Lobby and breakfast area was clean and in good condition. Breakfast foods were typical but bland nothing to get excited about. The room, however was dingy and badly in need of renovation, especially the bathroom was in need of a deep cleaning. Shower curtain was stained and bathtub had stains and mildew and the smell was very musty. Wouldn’t stay here again.
