Beautiful room with upgrades. Only issue was that it was pet-friendly and I thought there was no pet fee. Had to pay $45 for the night when I arrived with my small dog.

Byron

Disliked: Cleanliness, amenities
First room that we were put in did have a toilet that functioned correctly. We put the little sign on the door for housekeeping to change our linen the next morning and by 4pm nothing was done. Management put us in another room. It had feces on the restroom door. The TV remote did not have a back on it and a battery fell out and rolled under the bed. At $475 for two nights this place was very bad.
