It was an ok place to stay in but make sure you bring a can of bug killer for the bugs coming out to the bathroom sink and crawling over the room. I told several staff about it and all they said was sorry about that.

We booked this hotel last minute while driving across the country due to a family emergency. I accidentally booked the wrong room type for travelling with our two dogs (didn’t realize you needed to specifically book pet friendly). When we arrived they upgraded our room free of charge and it was completely hassle free. The included self-serve breakfast was great. Room was clean. No issues.
