This hotel has two things going for it: it is pet friendly, and they have multiple electric vehicle charging stations. The staff is friendly. The only negative is that the breakfast options are quite meager.

The tea is available at night and decaf coffee on the first floor. It was nice to have a chamomile tea before bed after a long day. Had a really good sleep in the king size bed with the best pillows. Costco and Chick-fil-A are down the street. I would stay there again.
