Pros:

Tracy is an outstanding staff member who even came to my room to troubleshoot t .v. issues! She answered questions and was pleasant to be around! She deserves a raise/ bonus for sure! She also researched and prevented me from double paying due to lack of knowledge from other facility members who did not book appropriately in their system.

Cons:

I set up a weekly full room clean which only took place 1 time in my month stay. The cleaning staff did ask when they saw me if towels or anything was needed. My room key had to be reactivated weekly tho I scheduled a month residency. On my last day someone reported me being too loud, I literally had a co-worker come to the motel in case they decided to kick me out….. the next morning house keeping came knocking at my door, which they never did prior, to verify my leaving. Mind you I had until 11am to vacate and this happened around 9am. The final bit of frustration was almost being charged a second time had it not been for the 1 employee (Tracy) who was concerned about my situation. I’ve stayed in many motels over the course of some years and this experience was by far the worse. The renovations seem quickly thrown together. Example, water while showering rolls down shower glass on to bathroom flooring due to poor seal and their is no temp gauge for shower water- thankfully ran hot enough for shower but what if I wanted a cold rinse off!

I was double billed for this stay. By both Booking.com and City express - hotel even charged us more. Not happy - dealing with my credit card at the moment.

Terrible, will never stay at here again. Remove them from you list of hotels
Pros:

Nothing. We tried to check in early and were told come back at 3:00 pm as they were short staffed.
We came back at 4:30 and were told our room still was not ready and they could not give us an estimate as to when it would be ready. The manager was rude and not helpful.

Cons:

We tried to check in early and were told come back at 3:00 pm as they were short staffed.
We came back at 4:30 and were told our room still was not ready and they could not give us an estimate as to when it would be ready. The manager was rude and not helpful at all.
We finally were able to get into our room at 7:00 pm, four hours late. Ridiculous. DO NOT recommend this hotel. Our used towels were left outside our door so they would be replaced. When we returned at 6:00 pm, the dirty towels were gone but no new towels were in our room. I had to go to the front desk and request new towels as well as toilet paper. We spoke with the General Manager regarding a discount for our inconvenience and she said there was nothing they could do since we booked via Bookings.com, we hope you are able to get us some compensation for our terrible stay. We were disappointed in Bookings.com for recommending this hotel, hope you remove them.
