Emily at the front desk was very friendly. As far as the room, thank you for having pet friendly rooms available for people like us traveling with our pets. Unfortunately , Our room smelled like pet urine. We have been on the road for 2 plus weeks. Most of the pet friendly rooms in other hotels have had LVT flooring which is much easier to clean and the rooms didn’t smell. Replacing the carpet with LVT flooring would really help.
