The room was not up to standards. There was dirt on the floor and hair on the pillows. Our room was switched and then the tv did not work. Front desk lady was very nice and did her best with what she had to work with. I was told I would be refunded, as we left because of the room conditions and there were not available rooms after being switched once. Waiting to hear from management on my refund.

What I didn't like was the pet fee. $75 per night per dog which wasn't easily advertised on their website. It was sort of hidden and we would not have stayed if we knew that.
