Wet dog smell

Was clearly pet friendly. We didn't bring ours but our room smelled like a dirty dog. The floors were spongy and felt wet. The ac worked but when you went near it you could smell the dog smell even worse.

Good hotel & friendly staff.

The hotel overall was a great hotel. I have stayed there in the past a few times. However this time, the room we stayed in irritated me and my kid’s allergies terribly. I’m not sure what about the room caused it, but it made the stay be uncomfortable. (I’m thinking it was something with the a/c by the floor had done leaked down into the carpet) because it had a funny smell when we first arrived. I would have asked for another room, but the whole hotel was booked due to it being Mardi Gras weekend.
