Liked: Room comfort
When we first checked in, our keys didn’t work. Once in the room, the TV didn’t work. And when we tested the hair dryer, it smoked terribly and almost caught on fire. So we requested to change rooms. The layout of the room was quite nice. But the mattress was lumpy. Nice Dove products in bathroom

Pet friendly hotel. Central location for our needs. Two bothersome things though, an extremely noisy refrigerator in room #203. And a homeless family camped in the grassy area of the hotel parking lot. Reported to staff at checkout.
