Chris (the general manager) charged me for having a pet in my room when I did not. Luckily I was able to get the recurring charges stopped; however, he still charged me a pet fee for days I didn't have a pet and kept putting a "pet in room" magnet on my door when there was no pet in my room. I didn't travel or check in with a pet, nor did I have a pet with me, but my friend did bring her dog over for a few hours while I got ready on my second night in the room. I told him I'd gladly pay for one night and he said, "there are so many people who hide pets and get away with it and I'm not letting you do that". I was honest and said I'd pay for the one night but he thinks it's okay to "punish" me and charge me extra fees just because other people have gotten away with it. He then tried to use the "some housekeepers are allergic". I call BS. Otherwise they wouldn't work for a hotel that allows pets. And what about service animals...they're not allergic to them, I bet. This multi-billion dollar corporation stole $50 from a disabled vet on a fixed income. Good job, Chris...keep up the excellent work!
Oh, and Jennifer. Let me tell you about Jennifer. I think she hates her job. Why work in a business that is centered around people when you hate people? I will give her credit for something though...her eye rolling/fake eyelash batting is absolutely superb!

New, clean, spacious, esthetically pleasing lobby and breakfast area, nice breakfast, parking for over length vehicles, pet accommodations, (doggy area with bags), access rooms are extra large for those in wheelchairs, no carpets. No downside for us. This was our second stay in six months and it was just as nice as the first.

Check in was fantastic and easy. The guy working midnights was extremely helpful and went above and beyond to fulfill a request for some ketchup for my Doordash order. The room was cozy and the bed slept amazingly great!! Upon checking out Jennifer was absolutely stellar in her quest to get me a printed receipt. She did all that she could and was top shelf!
