They don’t care!
Pros:

Convenient

Cons:

They don’t care about their guests. Booked an accessible room after total hip replacement surgery. Arrived at the earliest check-in to learn they had given my room away. Unacceptable!

Stay at your own risk.
Pros:

The staff were polite and flexible

Cons:

I emailed the hotel the day before letting them know that I would be a late arrival. The day of my check in I called to ensure that my reservation was my canceled and provided my card number over the phone. The receptionist said that the card would be run around 3am with the night auditor. I arrived at 4 am and the reservation was canceled and the receptionist said he wasn't informed. (Not my problem, I emailed and called) I was charged a higher nightly rate directly through them, instead of Booking.com rate. I was also charged a higher pet stay rate than what was listed on the booking.com details. I had to extend my stay by 2 nights, that receptionist didn't charge me for my pets, (again not my problem). Our last night, Dayton had heavy rainfall and the bathroom flooded from the ceiling due to the roof not being sealed. Now the hotel doesn't want to refund me my security deposit claiming the extra cleaning they had to do and the room being down for 2 days. You have to replace the whole ceiling in the bathroom anyway!

Checked out 2 days early and will not stay there again
Pros:

The staff was very accommodating

Cons:

Room was in poor shape. Ironing board was broken, the couch squeaked loudly with any movement, furniture was banged up, refrigerator was frozen solid, and the cable was out due to a storm so there was no tv

Pros:

Rooms were older but clean. Friendly staff and complimentary hot breakfast. The rooms also had a refrigerator and microwave.

Cons:

The grab bars had been removed in the shower and not replaced. It was scary for my mom to get in and out of it. The tub could have had some non slide resurfacing.
