We had read prior reviews of the motel before booking it, so we had an idea what to expect. The motel in general, including the room, is rundown, and is in need of a lot of TLC. Quite outdated.It does allow dogs, which is why we chose it. In the Hotels.com website that we booked through, it stated the room had a kitchenette,but we were told, no, the room does not. The neighborhood surrounding the motel is very nice, with lovely, well-kept homes and gardens, so we enjoyed walking the dog around there.
