The front desk girl was very rude and disrespectful when I checked in on the 19th of June 2025 at 7pm. Then we got a note on the door about our dogs that they were barking. They are dogs there’s nothing i could do about that. They say they are dog friendly but they are not. I wouldn’t stay here again.

The property is definitely older. The bedding and towels could use an upgrade. Finding spots/stains and hair in your bedding, towels and shower (upon check-in) is definitely a turn off. Phone didn't work. Shower vent/fan was disgusting and there was mold on the ceiling. Had the 'Do Not Disturb' sign on the door the entire time and housekeeping still entered. Wouldn't stay here again.
