This motel was in a more commercial area. A nearby restaurant was VERY nice, but pricey. I had booked though Expedia for a pet friendly room, however, Expedia had apparently NOT communicated that to the motel. I had had that experience prior to this booking, so I contacted the motel to double-check. The motel moved us to a pet friendly room, even though it was an upgrade. They didn't charge us extra which was the only way we could afford to stay there. They even let us book an extra day at the same price. We were able to cook a meal or two in our room. It was pet friendly, and they had multiple elevators, so we usually did not have to have the dog in with other people. Desk staff were extremely helpful and very friendly. Everything was clean, and the shower was great! The bed was comfortable. Our only gripe was that housekeeping staff ignored our first hang tag request for more towels and dish soap, so we notified the desk the next day. The desk staff made sure it happened for us.
