    We take our dog everywhere with us. Knowing the hotel excepts dogs we paid the 20$ they have rooms that are pet friendly and some that are not. The first room we went into smelled so bad of urine it was unbearable! We got another room next to it and not as bad but still smells. just because we have a dog we need to endure the urine smell? Our dog is well behaved and would never use the restroom in the room.  My dog is constantly smelling around because we’re sleeping in urine. Not cool knowing

My question was they have a pet friendly policy, but for dogs 30 lbs and under I asked why . And the stool in the room didn't flush very well!!!!
