      Not a good choice

      The air conditioner didn't work, blood on several areas of bed cover, shower tiles on wall missing, smelled heavily with smoke, and overall very dirty. Just not a good option no matter how desperately you need a room.

      I'm sorry, I do not know. However, I would honestly not want to take any animal to this place as it's too dirty for anyone's treasured companions.
