The pet area as expected, not allot of grass, but side walks forever, dog park near by. Lots of dinning near by. Easy access to the interstate. Rooms are clean and don't have pet odor. The rooms have vinyl plank flooring. I stayed here for 13 nights. only heard one dog bark a few times from the 1st floor. I was on the fourth floor. Quiet on the fourth floor.
