Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
Myself and the other guest really liked the amenities in the room; i.e. the fridge, dishwasher, sets of dishes, and a small stovetop. The one thing we both agreed on was that we wished the toilet paper was of better quality.

Note to travelers. Property is completely pet friendly. For some, this will be amazing. If you have an allergy to pets, not so much. Had no idea when we booked that all rooms are pet rooms. Woke up with bites on my legs. Room itself is a good size, small kitchenette area, couch and desk. Area around the hotel is not super safe at night. Was disappointed we didn’t realize every room was a pet room until we went to leave to check out and noticed a sign hanging behind the privacy sign that said pet in room. I asked at front desk and they said all the rooms are per rooms due to the hotel being a residence inn. They can do a deeper clean if you call ahead and let them know you have allergies. Told The front desk about the bites and she indicated they would have a company come out and clean. They did remove our $30 parking fee as an inconvenience for the flea bites but not a place that I personally would Stay again. Breakfast was ok. Not many choices. Eggs, sausage, cereal and a breakfast sandwich.
