"I liked the fact that I could have my dog with me and the staff went out of their way to bring me a dog bowl when they didn't have too."
"They allow pets, they are very specific in the rooms pets are allowed in, the reason why is for allergies."

“Staying here involves navigating a location where safety feels compromised, the premises show marked disrepair, and the advertised vending options are notably limited. My assessment is that potential guests should carefully weigh these conditions before booking, especially considering reports of disruptive activity. Deciding to pay a cancellation fee to relocate reflects a significant concern about the environment.”
