The room was a basic hotel room. I appreciated that they allowed dogs. This is a lower end hotel which was also very reasonably priced. We were there for one night as toured the area.
Had parking and was centrally located. If you need no frills cheap place...this is it.

We stayed for 4 days and it was awesome. This place should be a 5 star hotel compared to other hotels that are 5 star. The amazing staff were very friendly, the pool is not luxury with slides but it was a perfect fit for my kids. The rooms are very spacious, not luxury but they were great. Breakfast is a normal one, not continental but served the basics. I will stay here again because the price for the stay was perfect. Rooms are very cleaned
