Liked remote check in. TV was nice size. Room was clean. Might stay again, but not really impressed.
Pros:

Helpful desk staff. Friendly staff. Coffee in the lobby. Towels ere plentiful and the shower supplies "Zero" brand were quite pleasant.

Cons:

Breakfast was really much less than I expected. Eggs were awful. Sausage was over cooked and of very low quality. Selections were very limited. Constant banging noise travelled through wall behind our headboard from the adjacent room. (Very poor sound insulation) Damage to wall behind door very poorly repaired looked very unsightly.

An overall positive experience.
Pros:

Clean room.

Cons:

There were a number of items missing from the breakfast offerings. It took awhile to check in because there was a large party (a baseball team) that had to be processed before us.

Very rude breakfast attendant, never got hot coffee, no hot shower
Pros:

Terrible service by rude attendant. Tried three times for hot cup of coffee and never got one

The Front Desk was efficient and courteous when I called at 7 am when I couldn’t digitally check into our second room. They were efficient and courteous at check in and out.

Cons:

Very rude attendant. When I tried to get coffee I politely let her know and she told me to go to coffee area at Front desk. Tried that and it was cold. Have her enough time to refill coffee in breakfast area secretaries again. It was tepid. While sitting at dining table there was a loud altercation between guest and attendant. She was shouting at him. They left saying they wouldn’t come back to hotel. Front Desk told them attendant would not be there when they returned. Other guests complained when checking out. Attendant continued talking loudly when sweeping. I was shocked. In my many years of travel I’ve never seen this.
In our room the toilet paper kept falling off the holder that was underneath vanity and rolling on floor. We opened new roll and had to place it on counter. No hot water in shower!
Bath Room: no hot water in shower, toilet paper would not stay on holder. Not enough lighting in bed room.
Will not stay at this property again.

Convenient but mediocre location
Pros:

Well located near our route for travel next day.

Cons:

Although breakfast hours were 6-10, when we arrived at 8:30 most of the food was gone. It was being resupplied but not until we left at 9 . In-room coffee was better than that provided at the breakfast bar . 3 over-ripe and inedible bananas were offered as the only fruit. Also, the bathroom shower is a lawsuit waiting to happen! Our check-in agent graciously upgraded us to a first floor, walk-in shower room (which turned out to be the handicapped room), but the construction of that space could not possibly pass inspection. The flooring was slippery vinyl wood planking and the water flowed out onto the entire bathroom floor. They had simply removed the tub, and put in a handheld shower and chair , and extended the flooring throughout the entire bathroom floor.
