Barking dog in hotel
Dog barking woke us up early morning and continued to bark floor above us or down hall? Went on for hours. Would have given 5 stars as everything else excellent. Why do you have to allow dogs? Ours stays home on trips as so rude to wake up and diatribe others .

Friendly front desk, dirty room
The front desk gal was so friendly and sweet! Our room and our friends room left much to be desired. The chair in my room had hair and crumbs all over it. The fridge in our friends room was full of leftovers from the previous guests. When simple things are overlooked in the cleaning process, it makes you wonder what else they overlooked. Would not stay here again.

Horrible location
The location is very bad, right across from a neighborhood that looks unsafe. I would not stay at this location alone as a female or with my kids but I was with a large male and didn’t have to go out much - so it was okay. Pick a hotel further north.
