We got a non smoking room. Come to find out they allow pets but did not see anything about that when booking room. No problem but they don't specify. My daughter has dog and cat allergies. We checked in just before 11pm and when we got to are room we found out that there had been pets. The room smelled awful like pet urine. Went back down to see if they had other rooms that don't allow pets but the check in lobby was locked up.

Room was clean but needs some upgrade (carpet, USB ports, WiFi security). Beds were comfortable. Quiet. Helpful if front desk would open earlier than 8am to pick up breakfast vouchers and for checkout.

Old and dated but relatively clean. Reminds me of hotels back in the 80’s. Pool is out of commission. Room is really spacious but sheets aren’t the cleanest. They are washed but there are spots on them.
