Just another mid-price US hotel chain
Pros:

Can't remember now, so obviously created no lasting impression.

As for the questions asked, they are absurd, as not things on which a guest could comment, even if they'd noticed.

Pros:

You don’t expect too much from something in this price range. Two main complaints- there is a very unpleasant odor, especially near the elevator, and the room lighting is really dim. Thank God for nose-blindness.

Really???? I was so tired I got into bed and fell asleep quickly ..check out was at 1100 Sunday but breakfast was only available from 7-900am ….i said even on a Sunday morning???

Not acceptable
Pros:

Our stay was barely acceptable- the bathroom had mold in the corners and the toilet has not been properly cleaned in a while . Apparently, there was a water leak and the damage was painted over in some places and poorly repaired in others. Overall, this property has not been maintained for some time. Do not recommend.

Pros:

Checked in ptac filter were extremely dirty. Cleaned myself. Remote did not work for the TV. The tables legs were so wobbly did not trust to use. Only one light bulb in the vanity ceiling light but could still see what appeared to be bedbugs on the shower curtain. There were also roaches. Had to throw away white socks after walking on carpet because they were so dirty. The whole place smelled musty and like cigarettes. Definitely showing its age.

Pros:

We had to move rooms as the floor was soaked from the window to the wall. The bathroom was covered in hair and dirt. The walls had drywall mud on them in multiple places and the furniture was broken. It smelled like mildew. The staff was very upbeat and acted quickly to get us into a new room.

Pros:

The staff was friendly and doing their best in an old, run down building. The third floor is a smoking floor except for four rooms- if you don’t smoke stay off the third. The room we were given was dirty and neglected. We requested a room change and we were moved to the first floor- which was better, but the cigarette smell permeated the building.

Sheets and towels were clean, but the entire building had a neglected unkempt feeling to it. Toilet bowl wasn’t scrubbed, loose tiles in the shower floor, dirt along the walls and window frames.

TERRIBLE and DISGUSTING
Pros:

We booked a double room. Took a nap in the bed and woke up with bites on my face and arms. In addition, turned in the lights in the bathroom to see a bunch of roaches. We were switched to a king room, which they said had a fold out couch; which it didn't. So a guest in our party had to sleep on a fold out bed, which was horrible. Lastly, the room they switched us to was dirty (toilet, cobwebs, and dust balls hanging from the ceiling).

Pros:

General cleanliness was poor. In my room the bathroom trash was in there, in the coffee maker a used dry coffee pouch was in there, using the elevator it was always smelling of tobacco use.
The front outside could be improved by cleaning and tendering the area to look smart and inviting. My stay did not meet my expectations.
There were positives like the staff were very helpful. The closeness to Walmart and other shops is very convenient.
