Worst place to stay if you do not own a dog.
Pros:

Not much to like at this facility. The staff was unfriendly and seem to hate their job.

Cons:

There so many issues.
1. The front staff were unfriendly, unprofessional and unpleasant.
2. There were so many dogs. on the 2nd floor there were at least 3 dogs. We didn't sleep, because of all the barking.
