"The staff was awesome and worked out a great room for me and my little dog. The room was a bit musty smelling I've had the same experience before so I was prepared with a deodorizer. The thermostat doesnt go any lower than 65 i prefer 63 for sleeping but it was ok. The brand of shampoo and soap has a great smell!"
