Don't let the small and dated outside fool you. I was pleasantly surprised with the inside.
Pros:

Beds and pillows were excellent. Large room. Friendly staff. Didn't use the pool but will when I come back in March. Room is basic but clean. Convenient location

Cons:

A little dated but better inside than I expected looking at the outside. Could use a bigger TV

This was a clean affordable place to stay for a short visit, and a very convenient location.
Pros:

We went to breakfast around 9 and it was very busy, we couldn't get a table so took the breakfast back to our room. We didn't like the turkey sausage, the cheese omelet was okay, the croissants were hood, the fresh fruit was good.

Cons:

If you had bacon or back bacon that would have been preferred.

Great stay at this hotel!
Pros:

Clean and comfortable room, awesome breakfast, wonderful service from all the staff! Great location right beside Bower Place Mall along numerous restaurants and shops around the area!

Cons:

Small detail - window in the room did not have blackout blinds, just sheer white curtains to cover the windows. So might be good to bring a sleeping mask.
