Pros:

Overall it’s an okay property, not super clean. Old property. Convenient location. Good staff. Gated hotel, good security.

Cons:

Shower was really bad. Shower stream was so sharp that it was actually hurting the body! I never knew until now that something like this can hurt!
Breakfast was basic but ok.

Non helpful non engaging
Pros:

Haven't been a fan here.
Non engaging front staff at check in and I asked if a grocery store near and if beer near and just a not sure and no on any grocery store. As a tourist these are minimal asks! There's a Walgreens in the least very near that I found myself!
Room not great, not that clean. All staff need lessons in friendly!
I asked on top floor and it was in my booking notes and only got floor 5! I was done asking anything else for the rest of my time here.
Just making due now but won't return.
Breakfast pretty weak and coffee cold! Not kidding.
Was to be asked on an upgrade too and I forgot and I saw my print out after the fact. They dont read any notes!
Super unhelpful.

Was not reimbursed for leaving two days early after preparing the stay and parking
Cons:

Foul smell in the room cockroach spray, perhaps almost turned my stomach to the point where I had to leave two days early without reimbursement
