acceptable stay with some issues
spacious roomdog urinedriveway potholes
the room was clean and spacious, a plus.
I noticed dog urine on the bedroom carpet and it bothered me. the driveway had quite a few potholes. I think it should be fixed considering the price. also, the toilet paper quality was worse than what you find in public restrooms.
