A disappointed guest

Rated poor due to after half hour there we went to dinner got called to come back pick up our pups. This supposed to be pet friendly we can’t take to restaurant, we were told they barking and guest complained. We feel people should know pups bark when they hear noise they are good pups, so we paid just 91.00 just for the pups and really didn’t get use of room. We’ve stayed at numerous hotels pet friendly even ritzy ones and never no troubles. In the end the guest was banging doors making all kinds of noise till midnight and they were worse than pups barks. Wont go back. So disappointed.

The man who checked us in was not very nice. He seemed annoyed we were there late, checked in about 9:30pm. The room was small, old and dated. There was rust on the ceiling vents. The bed was very hard.

Quiet and clean

I would have given 5 stars but our room key was turned off before the check out time. I was loading up to leave and couldn’t get back in the room for the rest of my stuff. Luckily my husband was still in the room. Overall the room was good and quiet place to stay. In walking distance of shopping and restaurants

Great location and very friendly. Will stay again due to location and dog friendliness. They could use some updates on the furnishings, but overall I would recommend this spot.

Upon checking in and getting to our rooms we noticed quickly that the room didn't have AC at all, only a heater. The beds were hard and stiff, the pillows would flatten out when you laid down on them. The bathroom toilet was right next to the shower so when you step into the bath you hit your heels on the toilet. The water temperature was good but zero pressure. The walls are paper thin, you could hear people's conversations (thank god no one around us when we stayed wanted to get 'busy') We brought our dog with us, the pet fee was cheaper than most inns which was really nice but there was no designated pet area unfortunately. The room over-all I'll give a 4/10 stars. Nice enough place in a pinch if you want something cheap and is within walking distances of the local shops. Last but not least, the house keeper was really nice and sweet and did an amazing job at keeping our room clean.
