The location was convenient bur the facility was sub par.
Pros:

Liked the mattresses and the shower.

Cons:

The room was too small for 2 queen size beds. I recommend full size. Also the outside was dirty ...cigarettes. soda cans, bottles, paper strewn around.

Not worth $303 that was paid for one nights stay!!
Pros:

Dated. Hallway leading to dreary room felt like one was in prison long, gray and unwelcoming. Bathroom door chipped paint, room as well … a refurbish is needed !! Towels on floor by air condition unit to sop up leaking-not a nice sight ! Walls paper thin; one hears everything.

Cons:

Everything! Very dated
