They charged me $50 pet fee. I was surprised because I didn't see that when I was online. If I had, I would have stayed at a hotel that didn't charge.

The front desk staff was phenomenal. We got in late and she welcomed us with smiles. Had a active toddler with us and the lady at the front desk played with her while we were getting checked in. The only downside was the breakfast (didn’t care for it) and my rooms bathroom. There was a brown stain on my bathroom floor and the tub was clogged so when I showered the tub filled with water.
