Pros:

A place to lay our heads after a very busy day of travel and family.

Cons:

The hard floors were VERY slick. We had to be careful walking so we did not fall. Also, the bathtub was treacherous. Also, there was no hairdryer in the room.

Decent room if you don't mind noise.
Pros:

Breakfast was good. Coffee was quite good. Staff was friendly. It was very nice having a sofa in the room as I sometimes have trouble sleeping in a bed due to a back injury. All in all, the room was quite comfortable. BUT...

Cons:

It was LOUD! I was surprised that there wasn't any more noise buffering. It sounded like I was on the shoulder of the interstate. That would be my biggest complaint. There was not much light in the room, either. I didn't feel like there was appropriate light for reading. Also, I felt it was overpriced.
