Easily could have been better; cleaning shouldn't be so difficult for a name brand hotel.
Pros:

Modern look, good location, quick at the desk. Room looked good upon first entry. Bathroom was shiny.

Cons:

It just wasn't very clean. Pillows smelled like sweat and the bathroom smelled of urine. Brown stains in the bathtub as well (room 308).

It was ok
Pros:

N/a

Cons:

Arrived at 6pm ans room was not ready. Had to get ready for a concert in the lobby bathroom where a cockroach was in one of the stalls.
Staff said they would be doing something about the inconveniences, but did not.

Pros:

Location, clean

Cons:

All the supplies for coffee, yet no coffee maker in room, had my “do not disturb “ sign up & an employee randomly scanned into my room in the middle of the day while I was watching television, no knock, no warning, I had not called the front desk for anything & it was the middle of the day so this was odd, made me not feel safe leaving valuables in room.

Awesome weekend away
Pros:

Exceptionally clean room, very quiet and I was there for a rock festival, restaurant has THE BEST WINGS! The night front desk Tim or Tom (sorry) was the best! Super friendly and very helpful. I highly recommend this hotel. So easy to get on and off of the interstate and parking lot is gated up at night with only a entrance at front of building for security.

Cons:

Better TV selections

Pros:

Great location. We ate at a different place for almost every meal for 4 days and found most within walking distance of the hotel. The hotel also had a burger place open in the afternoon and evening, which was delicious.

Cons:

We really enjoyed our stay here.
