Gift card
Pros:

Everything was so clean, the staff was kind and the room was large and cozy

Cons:

They didn't let us spend the gift card at the check in. We did it at the check out and we got a couple of bank retentions quite large.

It was a good stay.
Pros:

We stayed here on our way through town. It was a good stopping point. Hotel was quiet and comfortable.

Cons:

There were no sheets, blankets and pillows for the sofa bed in the room. When we asked the front desk, they were not able to provide pillows. There was a lot of construction in the parking lot which made it hard to navigate.
