I ended up staying here by accident. I had booked the Red Roof but picked the wrong date and they were fully booked, so I last minute had to scramble for another pet friendly hotel in the area and found the IHG. Harrison was an absolute delight to deal with. I was very stressed out and was having a payment issue with my card. Harrison was patient and understanding as I dealt with the issues to pay the pet fee and the deposit. The room itself was great. Spacious, clean and new. The shower was lovely with very good water pressure. They also had really nice Dove soaps and shampoos/conditioners on the wall. The room also had a hair dryer, fridge and microwave. Breakfast was amazing, and well worth it. The eggs, bacon and sausage were all great. They had cereal, fruit, breads, milk, and juices. The area was pretty clean, and there's a nice field right beside the hotel for walking your dogs that is well lit and felt safe. I will absolutely be back as I travel to this area a few times a year. The only thing I disliked was the $75.00 pet fee, but that is a flat fee for both dogs, and was for up to 5 days. I do wish that it could be changed since I was just staying for one night, but I understand it can be hard to do so.
