I liked the place for the value and size of the room
Pros:

The suite was perfect for sharing with a coworker.
It was nice having the breakfast and the staff was great.

Cons:

The TV in the living room did not work properly but that was a minor thing, the bedroom TV's worked fine.
The hallways always smelled like marijuana. Big turn off, and the reason for the lower score on the family friendly question.

Cons:

The bathroom was dirty, there were yellow streaks going to down the inside of the door. It looked like urine bit I did not investigate to see if it actually was.

What is that smell
Pros:

Room.size was good. Had table.kitchenette large bathroom. Also had windows that could open

Cons:

The whole place had a funly smell. I always travel with Febreze so sprayed room and furniture etc and opened windows and turned air conditioning on to try to alleviate smell from room. It was ok but hallway and especially checking area was bad. Did not stay for breakfast. Very close to highway so to continue our trip south it was a quick drive to highway

It wasn't as terrible as it could have been but I wouldn't stay again.
Pros:

Breakfast and location were fine.

Cons:

Cleanliness of rooms is lacking significantly. Blood on bedsheet in first room, dog hair all over the couch arms in second room that we were moved to. People partying in the parking lot at 3 am. Felt like I was in a crackhouse most of the time. GM couldn't answer simple charge questions only answered with I don't know, very unprofessional. The property is lacking from simple upkeep.

Pros:

We liked the setup of the suite. The front desk associate was very friendly and nice.

Cons:

To get to our room we had to exit the lobby, go back outside to another door to get to an area that had an elevator to get to our room. The building had a heavy smell of pot. The room itself was run down and the couch need cleaned. The beds were uncomfortable. One of the bathrooms had damage to the door and door frame, like an animal had tried to chew it's way out. When we went to breakfast the next morning, the breakfast attendant was not friendly and had a bit of an attitude. She struggled to keep food out. The pancake maker didn't work either. We had to end up getting breakfast after we checked out of the hotel.
