I booked 2 nights because my dog was having surgery in the area. The room was dirty. Fingerprints on the walls and doors. Bathroom had hair and full of dirt and dust. Pillow had yellow stains. I asked to be switch to a different room. The front desk lady said she would call me back. She never did so I checked out that afternoon and was still charged for one of the night. The property itself was also dirt. Bags of dirty linen sheets and towels piled outside. Dog poop around the outdoor walk ways. DO NOT STAY HERE!

This was a nice stay! Employees were all so nice and accommodating! The property itself could use some love, a little cleaning, painting and get rid of the popcorn ceilings. I really loved that it was a mini suite! A full kitchen, living room and separate bedroom plus a balcony! The only negative was the breakfast. First it’s too short, 6:30-8:30 is not enough time. Also, they were out of items which shouldn’t happen if you are only open 2 hours? All in all a good stay and I would stay there again, thank you!
