The only thing made me feel bad is the people from the office made me a complaint because my dog was inside of my horses trailer. The dog had water and food and 40’ space for running. And my dog didn’t bother barking or anything like that. They wanted to call animal control. IS SO INSANE 😖

Twice, the charge was 0ver $6.00 more than what my reservation, via Expedia charged (displayed and emailed, when I reserved). Their excuse was it can not be changed in their system. Nice location and clean, but staff need better & warmer customer service presentation, and they need to honor reservations made via Expedia!

When I checked in the room was dirty, stains on matress, dead bugs, rooms looked nothing like the picture. The check in girl was rude and couldn’t handle the line out the door and multiple people had other complaints. The room smelled moldy and the lights flickered. We left and didn’t stay and found other accommodations

Great for travelers with pets

Friendly staff, hotel room was clean and economical, all I needed traveling with a dog. Great Thai food and frozen yogurt places within walking distance. The pool looked inviting on a hot day. Someone was always at the front desk. Plenty of parking, even on a busy weekend in and out. Water was hot and the shower had good pressure. The basics for the right price.

Okay

It was “fine”. AC made it freezing and when off it was stuffy and uncomfortable and nothing in between. Pillows were terrible. Certainly wasn’t worth $200 a night- I don’t care if it’s summer or not.
