Dirty and expensive
Pros:

Dusty and dirty. It was like it was never cleaned. There were weird stains on the bedding and I swear I saw bugs. Just a bad experience for how much it cost.

Terrible.
Pros:

The atmosphere is awful- very thin walls I could here the room next door grunting and stomping like a bunch of pigs. The smell was terrible, I swear I was in a pig sty- they could not keep it clean. The food was like I was eating out of a pig trough. I should have just picked a different vacation and stayed in a barn.

Gestapo Hotel
Pros:

The hotel stunk because it was housing large numbers of extremely aggressive sad men with terrible BO.

They make the hotel unsafe for women, children and any decent human being.

It reminded me of a film I saw once of the Gestapo commandeering a hotel in 1940s Paris.

Great stay and great bed and front desk, not as good as before and showing a touch of wear.
Pros:

Loved the Graduate Hotels, now that they are owned by hilton Im worried they will go downhill pretty fast. They were amazing, and I know an entrepreneur needs to make money, but hated to see that for this amazing brand.

Cons:

That they now charge $30 for parking, wasn’t the case when it wasn’t owned by Hilton
