The property was clean. It is situated between a strip mall and an apartment complex. It was quiet all day and night. The strip mall has a grocery store and a take-out Chinese restaurant. There is also a Walgreen pharmacy across the street from the grocery store. The outside and inside of the property was clean. The breakfast was good and they had a clean dining area. The fitness room was clean and had a number of machines for weight resistance training.

When you book here, there is no indication it’s a pet-friendly hotel pets unless you read the fine print. And that pets are allowed in ANY ROOM, even if you read the fine print. I am allergic to both cats and dogs, and felt awful during and after my stay. A pet-friendly hotel with carpets? There’s no way to rid a room like that of cat hair and dog dander. It feels extremely negligent not to make that clear to visitors. Also, a dog 2 doors down barked late at night and woke me early in the morning. The asst manager was less than interested in my commentary. The doors to the different sections of the hotel did not lock, so anyone could enter, which felt very unsafe. Then there was no coffee at breakfast. I finally found the woman in charge of the cafeteria, and she said she’d replace it. I asked how long she thought it would be, and she told me “as long as it takes me.” Her pants were falling down and as she walked away, I could see her butt crack, I kid you not. Particularly awful in food services. There was coffee available 12 mins later, after I had to get the manager to push her. You can’t make this stuff up. The hotel was really awful, mostly because of its hidden yes-to-pets policy (couldn’t that be reserved for specific rooms in a separate part of the hotel?) but also because the staff didn’t seem to care about it’s customers at all. Would never stay there again.

Terrible experience, not worth the price
When we checked in, we were given a room that had not been cleaned. The bed sheets were all over the place and house keeping did not clean the room with the guest before. When I informed the front desk, the lady working there was shocked that it had not been cleaned and gave us another room. We stayed there for two days. On the day of check in , I informed the hotel that I would like housekeeping. After the first day, I came back to the room without housekeeping done. On the second day when we were leaving, housekeeping woke up with a knock on the door at 8:45 am, way to early for housekeeping.
