Not going back.
Cons:

They didn't make my bed or change the towels. The shower floor was very slippery and there were no handrails. Very dangerous.

Don't stay
Pros:

This place is horrible; we didn't even spend the night there. Smelled like cigarette smoke and marijuana, but we had to sign a form stating that we wouldn't smoke in the room. Still haven't been refunded our money.

Decent wasn’t the worse.
Pros:

I loved the location and how convenient it was to everything. Literally had dunkin right out your window. Beautiful location. Everything was close by Walmart, ihop etc.

Cons:

The upgrade could have continued. The carpet smells like mold and old. The hallway smelled like cigarette and there smokers. The balcony needed power washing or something.
