Enjoyable
Pros:

Staff were friendly and helpful and I appreciate the reasonable price. The room was clean and as expected. The location is central and easy to find. The included parking was sincerely appreciated. All these factors and more made for an enjoyable stay. The good completely outweighed any negatives.

Cons:

The jacuzzi needs to be cleaned. The filmy slimey bubbles on the top were pretty gross. The ice machine was not working and I got stuck in the elevator for a few minutes.

Staff and location is great, the room leaves much do be desired and is nearly impossible to rest in.
Pros:

Spacious room and in a central location and front desk was very friendly and helpful.

Cons:

Room had questionable stains and carpets were dirty. AC was extremely loud and would constantly wake us up throughout the night and also did not keep a constant temperature. We consistently rotated between freezing and sweating throughout the night with the AC set to 69 degrees. Additionally, we suspect our room had bed bugs as we had bug bites on our legs when we woke up in the morning. I expected more for paying $200 for the night.

Fell short of my expectations.
Pros:

The office manager was very friendly and helpful. Located walking distance to breakfast options.

Cons:

The carpet was old and it smelled musty throughout the room. Shower didn't operate properly. Toilet seat was really loose. Had to tighten bolts. Noisey neighbors. The price was good.

We did not like our stay there and it was not worth the price we paid for it
Pros:

It was near a lot of stores and restaurants.

Cons:

I didn’t like that the ac unit was so close to the bed that it didn’t cool the room because the bed was blocking it. The room felt tight, and the elevator stopped working the last night of our stay and we were on the 3rd floor with 3 kids and lots of luggage’s and we had to use the stairs to get down. The room keys didn’t work both nights we were there so we had to reset them. The lights outside the hall were not working so it was pitch black at night and it felt eerie kids were scared the whole time.
