1. I thought this was really weird, and not a good way to relax while traveling.

2. The room was large but weird layout (trying to get between the bed and the wall was tight to say the least; the bathroom was VERY tiny).

4. I can see allowing small dogs in cages but the animals seemed to have free reign which seemed a little weird/gross/annoyingAll in all, this was an okay place to crash for one night, but I wouldn't want to make it my vacation destination or anything.

5. Even reception was weird, although we did arrive on Halloween :).

6. Check-in was quick (less than 5 min) but a little weird with the small podiums, which were somehow always staffed.
