We brought our dog. It feels like they put all the “dog people” in this one area. I get it but it felt like a downgrade. There was a dead bug by the porch sliding door. You could hear everything in the room next door and the halls. Felt like people were walking in and out all night. The hotel is right by a Sam’s. The area didn’t feel like a great part of town. But the property had a large green area that you could walk your dog. It’s definitely an older property that is showing its age, but is well maintained. Liked the complimentary coffee bar. They had a restaurant onsite that we didn’t eat at but looked nice.
