Overall the property is dated. It appears they have started renovations, but they are far from complete. The bed was comfortable and the rooms were clean. Unfortunately the halls and especially the room had a heavy cigarette smoke smell that was in the walls and carpet. I am allergic and it made for a bad night of sleep and a headache in the morning. Also when checking in I was informed that they charge a pet fee even for service animals, which is not what is listed in the property details. We have never run into this and travel very regularly. We would not stay here again.

The curtains in my room has dried food on them, not a lot of plug ins, no stationary in room. I asked front desk for a pen and they questioned why. A lot of sketchy people wandering around outside. Didn’t feel safe. Not a happy stay.

Strange experience
I arrived in the evening, was told it was a pet friendly location online and when I arrived the person checking me in gave me a whole talk about how pets arent allowed (as I'm looking at a sign on their window that states it is pet friendly). They do not accept support animal paperwork from therapists. He finally finished up this discussion by saying I could pay an extra fee for my dog in order to stay. I paid the extra fee. We go to our room and the room is boiling hot, the AC was not on. It took a while to get the room to a decent temperature. The following day I walked out of my room to take my dog out and was immediately confronted by a worker asking if I was leaving by 11am (The timing was really creepy because they were right in front of my door when I was walking out). The website said there is breakfast included but the front receptionist said there was no breakfast served at that location. I left the place around 10:40am and left my cards at the office and left.

I found a large (thankfully dead) junebug in the bathroom. The bathroom door and floor were filthy. The air conditioner fan blew on high no matter what setting it was on.
