I was charged a $20.00 pet “cleaning fee” for my support dog who weighs 4lbs. Nothing about a cleaning fee is disclosed on their website nor on Expedia. It says support animals are exempt from all service fees.. I was unhappy with this and let them know. I consider the fee as another way to get a fee for pets.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities
My check-in process went very smooth.Sam was very polite & courteous & gave me all the pertinent in a welcoming attitude. The positives about the room are: it's very clean & spacious. It's relatively quiet & i love the retro mini fridge & microwave. The a/c works great & the bed is comfortable. The negative: I was expecting colorful walls, but my room was all white. One of the bedside lamps wouldn't come on, sadly, it was on the side i'm used to sleeping on. Lol. The tub looks beautiful, but it's very slippery. Use caution. Plan ahead: The tub doesn't have a plug, so if you like baths, you have to improvise. Also, there are no clothes hangers, so pack accordingly. There's no coffee pot in the room. Overall, I would stay at the Crystal Palace again.
