Cons:

THE SOFA BED MATRESS HAD HAIR AND FOOD CRUMBS ON IT AS WELL AS THE NIGHT STAND IN ONE OFT HE ROOM. WE WERE ALSO CHARGED A $5.00 TO PAR KOUR CAR FOR THE NGIHT. (THAT FEE WAS WAVIED AFTER MY OBLECTION). THE REASON FOR THIS FEE AS WE WERE TOLD IS THAT MOST HOTELS HAVE VALET PARKING AND THIS IS WHAT THE FEE WAS FOR. THIS PORPERTY AS WELL ANS EVERY PROPERTY IN THIS CITY DO NOT HAVE VALET PARKING.

Decent Stay
Pros:

large 2 bedroom suite; clean and comfy bed

Cons:

the only thing was that a strong chemical smell (i'm assuming from ac) woke me up; had to leave at 3am, me and my pet dog could not sleep or take the smell any longer (my dog was pacing and panting) and the ac in the closet in one of the bedrooms was super loud; my fiance was the one to check-in and it took quite a while; only one person working front desk

Pros:

The staff was amazing. So friendly, kind and ready to help.
Great job on the breakfast.

Cons:

Was hoping for a king bed but it said it was going to be a queen. Pretty sure it was even smaller than that...maybe a double?
But it was comfortable.

Pros:

Probably it’s location, but there are other hotels I’ve stayed before in that area that are way much better

Cons:

Front desk receptionist were not nice, mattress was not comfortable, it was not really clean, and there are better hotels around it
