Not truly pet friendly. An adult over the age of 21 must be with the dog in the room at all times per the maid and a woman claiming to be the owner. It was a loud tiny woman in a large GM SUV with those stereotypical Karen vibes in a Karen car. Fairly certain the owner. I get it, the rules are in the rules in a private establishment. An attempts to reach an amicable agreement was not possible. I would suggest in the future to mimic Hilton, have a printed list of all your rules that would have required acknowledgment and to be signed prior to check-in so that there are no surprises. Also an end table and or chair would have been nice. One side of the bed got one the other did not. Very odd. Overall the faucets, shows and cabinets look like they were straight out of the first house my parents bought in 1988. I will post photos on the Google review. I'm not sure if their original to the hotel or they got these from my grandma's house. This is not a boutique style that we are used to while traveling in America, Europe, Asia. Yadda yadda. This is more of a "drop on in" or "Earl's truck stop" vibe located in the middle of an Arizona desert, but really got lucky and had gentrification built around, it if that makes sense. I was at a roadside stop two days prior in Carlisle that was half the price and twice as Nice.

Although I asked about the parking situation before booking this hotel, Phoenixville decided to extend its weekend shutdown of the streets by one more week. This made it extremely inconvenient to get to the hotel and we had to drag our luggage through the streets. Parking was NOT available in the lots nearby or in the senior center later that evening. We ended up moving to another hotel and since I had paid nonrefundable (NEVER AGAIN) I had no recourse. The hotel also did not feel safe. The deadbolt on the door did not lock from the outside and there was no safe in the room. Just an uncomfortable situation all around. The staff was extremely pleasant and kind.

I was in town for one night as my son was touring and staying a night at University of Valley Forge 2 miles away. The hotel itself was very nice for the price. Clean room, very polite and attentive staff. Downtown was great with all of the food options that were open until 11 on a Thursday evening in September. I want to give special recognition to the gentleman that worked 3rd shift. He was extremely helpful and a joy to speak to at breakfast. When I unpacked, I realized that I brought the wrong phone charging block but he had a spare that he gave to me and told me to keep. He also gave me a backup wakeup call at 5 a.m. in case my phone didn't charge. The only negative I have, and it did frustrate me quite a bit, was finding parking. There was a paid lot, but only until midnight. Street sweeping limited street parking. I was lucky enough to get a parking pass from the main desk at check-in and I squeezed into the last space in their lot when I returned from the college late at night...but I had at one point spend quite some time driving around town to find parking. It's not entirely the hotel's fault, it's the town's parking situation and how they have so many limits and charges on parking spots. Perhaps the hotel could provide a more detailed Overall though, I'd stay there again if I had to. I have an idea of how to navigate the Phoenixville parking now.
