Very poor customer service
Pros:

The breakfast was good and the maintenance man was very helpful

Cons:

We arrived early for a check in and was told there was no left luggage / baggage store and that a $30 fee would apply if we want to check in. When I complained they said there was a luggage store but they were not responsible, then opened a room full of luggage!

When we did check in they took a $100 deposit and will not return it until 3 days after check out - this requirement is not on their listing. The room smelled terrible, like an ash tray. I told the front desk and they said they couldn't do anything and didn't have another room. Later I saw the maintenance man and he got rid of the smell whilst we were out.

The WiFi is not free unless you are a Rewards Member
