“While some rooms may show their age with dated decor and cleanliness issues, the staff's helpfulness stands out. Its pet-friendly policy and proximity to the road make it a practical choice for travelers with animals. For those prioritizing location and pet accommodations over modern aesthetics, this could be a reasonable option.”
