Disliked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities
It was pet friendly which we needed, and the hostess at the desk was very friendly and helpful, but the towels were make up stained and very very old and worn. The toilet wobbled when you sat or stood up. The beds were hard as rocks and pillows were flat and not exactly inviting. Generally just needs an update and a refresh for cleanliness.

It did what it was supposed to do but wouldn’t stay there again. I guess $100 a night is the bare minimum in today’s economy.
