    Clean, Comfortable, Quiet

    This hotel is basic, but it had everything we needed for a one night stay with our 2 dogs. Clean, comfortable beds, quiet temp control unit in the room, and no noise from nearby roads. I would have preferred flooring other than carpet in the room like most pet rooms we have stayed in since they are easier to clean up any messes. We were able to get a ground floor room close to outside access. The interior corridors helped me feel safe and there were a lot of grassy areas around the perimeter of the hotel for the dogs. Not a lot of pet-friendly dining options around the immediate area. At least the hotel had an outside patio where we could eat the free breakfast without leaving the dogs in the room. They have a lot of rules about the dogs, which made me feel like the staff was not very friendly, but nothing that I wouldn't do anyway, like pick up after your dog, keep them leashed in public areas, etc.

    Excellent night sleep

    Clean, quiet and secure. Ground floor location of room was very convenient for us to step to clean walk area. My small dog and I slept well.

    Thoughtful refuge

    The staff was helpful, giving us a room close to the door for easy access. There is a lovely large strip of grass for walking the dogs. It was very clean. Only downside was midnight smokers outside our window who put our dogs on guard. Maybe a smokers kiosk? Or a sound dampening shell outdoors?

    Won’t stay again

    The hotel is so outdated and is in bad shape. The lobby looked nice but the pictures were deceiving. There was a hole in the bathroom tile which I stuffed with tissue to keep possible critters out. The location was not good for finding a restaurant. After a long day of driving we did not want to go far. We had to sign so many things for the dog and then they put $50 on the card for incidentals for damage which was refundable. I think I should have received $50. We will not be staying at BW again unless it is a Plus. Tonight we are at Candlewood and what a pleasure.

    Dirty carpets

    This hotel was ok for a stopover, but not a relaxing location. Basically clean, but dirty carpets.

    Very good!

    Had dog walking areas with lots of grass, they put us on the first floor since we had our dog with us. Had doggie bags for poop clean up, would stay again! Also the policy says you can leave your dog alone in the room if they are crated!

    Great stay

    Nice staff. $20 pet fee. Room was more than okay for the price. Ours was on the second floor but close to the side entrance and the stairs so no problem. Plenty of parking for uhauls. Grassy areas around the property. Hot breakfast was good, too.

    Simple but nice!

    They gave my pup cookies at check in and asked me to sign a form with his info. They also try and accommodate dog visitors with first floor rooms. Lots of doors to the outside which made it easy to take him out.
