Room was clean but we didn’t get any room service we had to ask for towels at the front desk. Service was bad, no one was ever there every time we had to go to the reception. Took maybe 10min to check out because we weee all waiting for someone to come out to the front desk

We booked this room last minute and the price was reasonable and accommodated pets for free. The room was mostly clean but the bathroom had a bad smell and shower wasn’t the cleanest. The ceiling vent also had dust accumulated in it.

Water pressure in room 106 was very weak. Shower had weak stream on warm setting and the toilet never flushed properly. The WiFi did work in my room because the signal was too weak. The lady that checked in was in a foul mood. The manager in the morning was very nice. Overall it was a decent stay and the most important amenity is that they are dog friendly with many areas for your dog to sniff around.
