Cons:

There is not a real person in the lobby to check you in. I paid in advance and after a long ride was greeted with a virtual kiosk that didn't work . Completely impersonal. After getting someone on the phone I was told I'd have to wait . I'll never stay there again

Pros:

Price was about average for location.

Cons:

The bathroom needs updating . There were several lamps in the bedroom, but it would be good to have overhead lighting.
They did not serve continental breakfast, which would have been good.
