It was fine for a quick overnight stay. It was just what I expected for the price. Clean and mattress was comfortable. Pillows were very lumpy. Outside was well lit so I felt safe taking my dog out for late night/early morning potty breaks. Would have been nice to have grassy area for the dog, but it was ok. Dumped mattresses were unsightly.
