Convenient place to stop while on the road north.
Pros:

The location was convenient for a brief stopover. Staff was friendly, and the live roses in the lobby were welcoming.

Cons:

There was a cloying scent in the room that did not dissipate when I left the windows open and fan on while I went to dinner. Nevertheless, I slept well.

Pros:

They accepted my emotional support dogs

Cons:

I found myself in a very unpleasant situation, as the other tenants were causing a racket and having a row. I genuinely thought our personal safety was at risk
