“This place, while budget-friendly and pet-accomodating, seems to carry an inconsistent experience; while I appreciate affordable pet fees and vintage charm, there are signs that renovations may be needed. I noted the spacious rooms and complimentary snacks, however, some reports mention cleanliness issues and maintenance concerns that caught my attention. It's conveniently located near attractions like the Henry Doorly Zoo, and the active management involvement is a plus, I feel like more attention is needed to meet basic expectations.”
