Should have been offered a refund
Pros:

Has no redeeming qualities at all! Big scam!

Cons:

Everything! it was gross and out dated the picture should be removed for false advertising. Towels were worn out and thin. Bedding had cigaret marks all over and I was charged even more for my pets even though I payed more for the “pet friendly” room online. Biggest scam I ever fell for. Kids were playing behind the desk place felt like a zoo not professional or relaxing in any way! Super unwelcoming when walking in I thought I was going to get mugged. I payed way too much for this place.

Disappointed in our stay.
Pros:

Not much. It was just ok.
The only breakfast items offered was cereal, waffles, small bagels and donuts, juice, coffee, peanut butter.
We checked out and bought breakfast elsewhere. There were pictures of fresh fruit on the walls but no fruit in sight.

Cons:

The combination light/bathroom fan in our first room was so incredibly loud we had to change rooms. The second room was ok but we only got 2 very thin bath towels and 2 thin hand towels and only 1 wash cloth. Also, only 1 small bar of soap. They definitely need new towels. Also, they need black out curtains. The lights outside kept us up and was hard to sleep. Breakfast was disappointing. I would not book another stay at this hotel.

Pros:

The price and the location

Cons:

The whole place smelled terrible, musty, damp, and was dirty. Looking at the staff it was easy to see why. Most of the staff didn't look like personal hygiene was particularly important to them in any way and smelled like it as well. The rooms were not very clean at all, including spatters of what I didn't even want to know what it was or investigate, since it looked like human crap. Language barrier with the staff was nearly consistent except for one person who was physically unable to move above a snail's pace. Quality inns and suites should do a better background check on their ownership and management staff.

Gross hotel would highly recommend finding somewhere else to stay. We left after the first night and found a new hotel.
Pros:

Nothing. We booked two nights and ended up leaving after the first night. It was gross, black mold in the room, in the ac, etc. Just all around dirty from the minute you walk in!

Cons:

Everything. We left after the first night as it was so gross and black mold all over in our room from the bathroom to the ac unit. Etc. Also the tv didn't work, fan in the bathroom didn't work. Just all around dirty, gross, and not in working order.

Overall a poor experience, and I will never return to this Chain location.
Pros:

Location was within 10 minutes of my intended visit, destination.

Cons:

1) Entry door frame was loose, so door wasn't completely secure.
2) Furniture was poor quality... Dresser and Side cabinets has drawers that wouldn't stay closed/open after closing/Ghosts?
Desk chair was damaged so difficult for posture. Lounge chair arms were broken/caved in/very uncomfortable
3) Bed mattress was hard as a rock! No box frame. Mattress was set on a metal frame, that was oversized (for a King mattress) which caused me to stub my toe(s) or bang my shin whenever I approached the bed!
4) TV did not operate (no signal) upon arrival. Two separate employees needed to fix issue. (Bad box?)
5) Faint odor, similar to cat urine.
6) No actual curtains to block light from the neighboring Hotel parking lot lights and building signage. Only had thin see thru shades.
7) Continental Breakfast... at about 7:30 AM... Coffee machine broken, no hot foods (empty) few slices of bread, fairly empty cereal bins, no fresh fruit, watery apple juice, etc. About 8 other guests trying to scape up something "safe" to eat. One of them called the phone at the (empty) Front Desk to get somebody to help.
Overall, a very poor experience!!

Pool is nice that is the only positive about the hotel.
Pros:

The pool area was nice.

Cons:

The rooms are not clean and the hotel is very shabby. I would not recommend staying at this hotel. There was no shampoo, the phone in the room was filthy and it looked like no one cleans behind the toilet paper dispenser.

Cons:

there was no shampoo in the shower, there were no shower towels in the bathroom. I had to make a point of going to the front desk to get some. The front door would not open in the morning.

Pros:

Location was very satisfactory.

Cons:

Hall had pungent odor. . Spyder in bathroom.. The breakfast was limited. The coffee was undrinkable. General conditions of the facility was old and run down. Can't believe Choice hotel would put their name to it.

Dirtiest hotel I’ve seen and would not recommend staying here.
Pros:

The price and location was nice but we ultimately cancelled the room due to reasons explained below.

Cons:

Upon entering it appeared staff allows family to include a ton of young children to run around. Front desk person took forever to come to lobby. Phone to call front desk was gross and filthy. We checked in and got our room. On the way the floor in the lobby and hallways was filthy and stained. It had a terrible smell throughout the whole hotel. We got to our room and it wasn’t even cleaned yet. Went to the front desk and cancelled the stay with a promise that our refund would be the next day. It took over a week and 3 phone calls to get a refund.
