For the price, it was okay. They should have disclosed that they are doing major construction now, including removing the roof. I also didn't notice it was pet-friendly, so it sounds like you're staying in a dog kennel. I'm sure this is a plus if you are traveling with dogs.

Good value - cheap motel. However, standard rooms do not have a fridge - very disappointing and the motel is going through renovations with works starting around 7am with hammering on the roof. Thwre was no warning from the motel beforehand of this, so not good!

The bathroom sink was leaking. The table in the center of the room was broken. There were loose screws on the ground. One of the bed’s slats were broken. Was supposed to be non-smoking but the room and area smelled of cigarettes

Very over priced for what it was. Initially on orbizts, the room was 208, then it abruptly changed to 280 for the night. No fridge, no microwave in the room, but outside in the hallway. Bed was ok at best.
