Hotel rooms are good with comfortable beds and pillows. Only complaint was the bathroom door was so squeaky you woke others in your room up if you used the bathroom during the night.

We used the Expedia APP, filtered for pet friendly, booked a king suite. Got here, and of course, no king suite, just a normal room for pets. Pet friendly was a bit unclear on the APP. So we paid more for a king suite, but never got it.

Thumbs up

Room was clean, staff was pleasant. Breakfast was good but items weren’t replenished in a timely manner. I think they may have been understaffed so that’s understandable.

Rooms were clean and comfortable. Breakfast area and lobby dated. For some crazy reason the traffic in and out of the hotel was so heavy. You have to go all around the back of the hotel to get out on the street.
