Pros:

Pleasant staff.

Cons:

The air conditioner was aimed right at our bed and had to put something in front of it in order to deflect the wind from it.
We were in the front of the building and the street noise went into the night. It resumed prior to 07:00.

The room served its purpose.
Pros:

Location and close proximity to shops.

Cons:

The tiniest of bathroom I have ever seen. Just about the size of a dollhouse.

Cheap, but dingy and not well-kept.
Pros:

Location was good.

Cons:

This hotel is dingy and had a urine smell in our room. Staff was nice to move us to a different room but it still had a bad smell, so we left and did not spend the night.

Pros:

Staff were very friendly. The fitness room had a Peloton bike which was an unexpected surprise!

Cons:

Breakfast was very minimal. Had to take a trip to McDonalds each morning to get a decent breakfast. Sink in my bathroom was clogged and didn’t drain properly.

:(
Pros:

The hotel, though a bit dated, is clean and well-maintained. The staff is friendly, and parking lots are conveniently provided.

Cons:

The walls and windows are not adequately insulated against the constant noise of passing cars and work trucks. This lack of insulation has left me feeling exhausted and irritable.
