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.

Pros:

Location was excellent

Cons:

The hotel needs major upgrades. The stairs and floors are very unstable. You could literally hear individuals walking or running above us.

Very disappointing
Pros:

Good location and very roomy

Cons:

Rude employee who fussed at me for taking some food up to my fiancé who had the flu to keep him from spreading it. He’s also a vet looking for a home and we have spent thousands at this hotel chain both here and in other states

Wonderful place to stay other than a TERRIBLE mattress
Pros:

I love having a room that our entire group can stay comfortably together. The room is very clean!

Cons:

We were told there would be queen size beds but I’m pretty sure they are full size. The mattress was very uncomfortable because there is an obvious sunken place in the center.

The stay overall was good but there are some improvements that needs to be made.
Pros:

The property itself was very clean.

Cons:

The room was clean, however the bathtub was dirty. I called down to the front desk to have it cleaned, no one ever came. After about two hours I had to go in the hallway to find a housekeeper to come and clean the bathtub. The water in the tub also went out extremely slow, so you had to wait about ten minutes before the next person could take a shower.
