Decent stay
Pros:

Although labeled residence inn, this hotel resembles sonesta in every way. Looks like it used to be a Sonesta hotel. Homeless people around the parking lot. Lots of trash, unkept looking area immediately surrounding hotel. Room is decent except for fighting with gnats every day. They seem to love the shower drain. Had to purchase Raid products to combat the issue.

Incredibly good value and fragrance-free room!
Pros:

I was in town because my wife was having surgery locally. I wish I could have stayed longer! The room was generous in size for an incredibly good price. The best thing was that there was no discernible fragrance in the room. My wife has MCS (multiple chemical sensitivity) and is highly allergic to the scent stabilizer used in virtually scented product made, making it nearly impossible to find a hotel room that doesn't make her sneeze through an entire box of tissue. She wasn't with me in the hotel, because she was in the hospital, but we may have found a place to stay that is comfortable for her!
I also appreciated all the parking and the complimentary breakfast, which included hot foods (mostly egg dishes), a waffle maker, and the best oatmeal bar I've ever seen. The area was very quiet. The only odd thing was the lights over the bed--it took me forever to find the switches to turn them off (they were on when I checked in). I finally found the toggles on the side of the rectangular fixture.
