The property was well kept and clean. The staff was courteous and prompt. And, the sign out front stated that imaginary friends stay free. That was a relief because we each have one.

Disliked: Staff & service
They charge 45 for a pet. Our dog is a service dog. You’re not supposed to charge for a service dog. I paid the 45 with my debit card. When I looked at my online banking the hotel had charged me an extra hundred dollars, which is right out stealing!!!! I have called my bank and they are going to dispute it just a warning the people at that motel will steal the money right out of your pocket!

Mediocre

Stayed 2 nights. The room smelled musty, probably from the carpet. The bed was okay, but tlit was like the memory foam topper was covering a bad mattress.
