I’ll never stay there or any other IHG hotel chain ever again. Going back to Marriott or Hilton
Pros:

Nothing particularly. I’ve been to better hotels. Maybe just proximity (6 miles) to my location.

Cons:

Extremely dated/old. From the AC system, shower, carpet - just OLD. Not fancy at all for the price of $149/night!!

My stay at this hotel great.
Pros:

Lisa the property manager was very welcoming and gave us some suggestions of nearby restuarants my family and I can get to eat at. The location was very easy to drive to. The room was very clean and of course the beds were just as comfy, if I could have booked a second night I would have. The complimentary breakfast was also really good as well. But I’ll definitely be back to stay at this hotel.

Cons:

The only thing is the shower curtain, I noticed when showering, a lot of water does spill out, if they can implement either a shower door and plastic shower curtain to avoid the water spilling out that would be great.
