I would consider staying here again because they are pet friendly and that’s a plus.
Pros:

It’s clean and the staff are kind and professional. It’s pet friendly and if you’re traveling with your furry companion thats a plus.

Cons:

There’s some seedy things that go on at night like one woman screaming outside my door with the police and some peculiar people around but for the most part I didn’t feel threatened and I just wish there was a small refrigerator and microwave and coffee maker in the room. Thats about it! They don’t let you sleep in all day they come in to clean the room at 11:00 so you have to get up and get ready and leave. Sometimes the vending machine gets stuck but they fix it got you if you tell them.

That room was over $150 with tax. There is no way it was worth it. Worst room on my trip.
Pros:

Close proximity to highway

Cons:

3 dogs in room next door were left alone and barked constant for over 3 hours. I called front desk after first 45 minutes and was assured they would contact owner. Nothing happened and the dogs continued to bark. I was driving 8+ hours a day by myself and needed sleep. In the morning I asked for a partial refund on the room. I was told because the dogs weren’t barking after midnight, they could not fulfill my request. No decent establishment would allow dogs to be left alone for hours and barking non/stop. The room was adjoining with only a locked door in between our rooms.
