Dog Friendly caveat
Watch out, "pet friendly" means that there is a $50/night/dog charge which you don't find out until you get there.

2/10 Poor

When I checked out of the motel they gave me a receipt that was about $250 cheaper than what Expedia charged me. When I talked to Expedia they said there wasn't a refund to be given and the higher price with them was final. I will not be using Expedia again. The only way I could contact them was a chat by texting. Why don't they have phone numbers listed on app or easily found on website?
