The hotel was not clean. One of the sinks in the room did not work. It says “pet friendly “ but there was never mention of extra fees for pets on either Expedia or the hotel website. I had to pay the extra fees upon arrival. The bedding was also stained and looked dirty. I will never stay there again.
