Closest dog friendly hotel to downtown that didn't cost a fortune. However, you get what you pay for. Room was clean, bedding and bed not luxury but again, clean. Staff was very friendly and you can tell they take pride in their positions. Bathtub did not drain well so that felt dirty. I felt like I was in a movie when I walked the dog around the property/ parking lot perimeter. Women and men selling their "wares", (this is probably why every person over 18 is required to have an ID on file) liquor store across the street with stereotypical loitering on the corner. GREAT people watching. I would not recommend a timid, single traveler woman with or without a dog stay here. The hotel does what it can to provide security from the neighborhood and adjacent casino, however, if you have a dog, one must venture outside the hotel.
