Ask if I had a dog, which I did not. The room needs a bit of attention. Needs a little bit of painting and fix some cracks in the bathroom. Bed was good and comfortable. Room smelled stuffy.

The check-in staff was very friendly and the room was clean. The only issue is the electrical plugin behind the TV did not work. I really wanted to see morning local weather before heading out. Nice TV, just didn’t work.
