The property was not clean on the inside. When we arrived we had to me moved to another room because of a horrible smell. The room we were moved to the TV did not work for 30 minutes. The hallway was dirty. Stuff was on the floor for 2 days. Even after reporting it once we arrived. The noise levels of guest were ridiculous and the front desk did nothing about it but put signs in the hallway saying that it is quiet time from 10:00 to 7 am. It was a mad house until 10:00 at night. I will never stay at this hotel again not even for free.

Dogs on dogs on dogs
Pembroke Corgi convention brought dozens of dogs into the facility during my stay. While as cute as can be, these fellers barked into the wee hours of the night while leaving trails of dog fur all over the carpets of the common areas. I would not have booked at the same time had I known beforehand
