It's nice that they allow pets, which is one of the main reasons I chose this hotel. Having a restaurant onsite is a very convenient option, but I didn't get to check it out. Be really careful not to miss the turn into the hotel entrance or you could end up on the interstate since it is literally right by that turn and next to another hotel entrance.
