Cons:

The hotel had an unpleasant stench which the hotel attempted to mask with large fragrant dispensers in the rooms. The bathroom door had a poorly masked hole, the bathtub was stained, and I waited at the front desk for someone to appear for approximately 10-15 minutes before I could begin checking in.

Alright for a one night, quick trip...
Pros:

Spacious rooms, easy location off of highway.

Cons:

The air conditioner clearly had mold on it, worried to use A/C so room was warm. Dated hotel.

Not bad for the money.
Pros:

Perfect location, we have a well-equipped room with kitchenette. Comfy bed, clean bedsheets and towels.

Cons:

There was black mold stain on bathroom wall thus the entire room smelled of mold. Bathtub looked never being scrubbed. Hallway carpet was dirty and in desperate need of vacuuming.

Pros:

Front desk was informative. He was always attention detailed. And the location was convenient.

Cons:

Vending machines were not stocked. The building itself just felt old and humid. My room had a broken recliner and microwave. The chair would not close. I walked in with the chair stuck in recliner. The microwave door had to remain open or the microwave would run. The door remained opened with the light on the entire night to avoid the microwave from running the whole night. It just felt gross.

Doesn’t meet expectations with the “sonesta” brand
Pros:

Doesn’t meet expectations with the “sonesta” brand. Kitchen only had one glass nothing else. First room I checked into reeked of cigarette smoke. Asked for another room and was told the first room wasn’t smokey but rather someone had just cooked a meal in there (but without pots or dishes??). Clearly wasn’t the case, and was finally given a different room. Hotel felt nasty, wore my shoes between bed and bathroom bc carpet felt grimy. Never again.

Pros:

Room was in somewhat poor condition and very humid. Check-in was very slow. The stay was thankfully quiet, but definitely not the best hotel experience I've had.

Pros:

Rooms were very low quality, very run down. Killed 3 cockroaches the first night, didn’t stay the second night. Everything felt gross. Wouldn’t ever stay there again. After a little fight they returned my second nights charge. They didn’t seem to think cockroaches were that big of an issue. And this was for $200 a night.
