Present check in, property was clean but older and had some fixture issues that could use fixing/ updating. It was nice to have my dogs feel welcome on the stay with special treats. Fairly clean, couldn’t get and invoice for my pet fee but that’s my only issue

We stayed here 10 years ago and I swear nothing has been done since then. Pillows were like lumpy footballs, carpet wasn’t even vacuumed, beds had a huge dip in the center and old towel from previous tenants still in the room.

Very old and dirty facility. Bed sheets were dirty along with comforter. Had to get new bedding. Uncomfortable bed. Looks nothing like pics. Not sure where they stole those pics from but it is not from here.
