    Our 2 dogs were welcome. It was a room on the end, very clean, with a private area to sit outside. The bed was comfortable. It was a great place to spend a night after a day on the road. Oh, and the little basket of snacks was nice!

    There was no breakfast which is fine, just wish there was a Dunkin's close by. However there were bottles of water in the refrigerator, a coffee maker and a basket with snacks which was a nice touch!
