This place was absolutely a waste of money!! At $50 a night with a $100 cash deposit, I expected at the very least a phone in the room and a warm place to stay. Claims to be pet friendly.. although any pet after the first is a $15 non refundable charge.. even though one of my dogs was a service dog, I still was charged for a puppy. Yes, my puppy had a small accident on a blanket that needed to be washed anyways- I was forced to go somewhere around the area to wash the blanket myself or the $100 cash deposit was not going to be refunded!! So we checked out a bit after 11am, and weren’t able to return until close to 4pm after washing the comforters at the nearest laundromat to receive my deposit. There was mold in the bathroom, the heater in the room kept shutting off and it was 14 degrees outside, so the room was cold. Will never book here again!!!!
