I would stay there again because it's convenient and the in-room kitchen facilities are welcome.
Cons:

Breakfast is just acceptable but the coffee ran out very early.

Disasterous
Pros:

Nothing!!

Cons:

We waited in line to check in for almost 25 min. No one was at the reception. When someone arrived, they seemed off-balance, maybe intoxicated. Then, we checked in and paid, and when we went to the room, the room was already occupied by another guest. The person at the reception was clearly focused and was not very communicative either. So, we walked over to the Hyatt next door and stayed there instead. I am disappointed that Booking promotes such a property, and I believe I must get a refund. It is going to be hard to trust Bookings again.

A shit hole, avoid at all cost.
Pros:

Nothing, an absolute shit hole.

Cons:

Terrible rooms, 1 had no lock on the door, the other reaked of feces and had a bathroom tub and toilet literally full of shit. We had to leave and scramble for another hotel, which made us late for the concert we attended.

Overpriced dump
Pros:

Location was good, and beds were okay.

Cons:

Tub was filthy, bathroom door didn’t shut tightly, the smoke alarm was dangling from the ceiling, and the room in general was in disrepair. For an “extended stay” there were no supplies (dishes, pots/pans, etc), which seems odd, even though it didn’t really impact us because we only stayed one night. The price was incredibly high for the state is was in.

Filthy place, unacceptable service.
Pros:

The only endearing factor is the location.

Cons:

The staff was for the most part non responsive.
The first three set of rooms were not only filthy but were moldy with an overwhelming musty smell in the air. We were promised 3 adjacent rooms, but those were far apart from each other. We were told they didn't have adjacent rooms. When we complained about the rooms' cleanliness, the front desk person checked for alternatives. He said that he inspected the rooms and found the new rooms to be clean.
We moved to new rooms on the ground floor. Two were indeed next to each other, the third, about 5 rooms away.
When we entered the rooms we discovered that one was indeed cleaner than before, but the other two were just as filthy as the first three. Hair all over the bathrooms, dirty bathtub, filthy shower curtains, disgustingly dirty toilets, complete with "left overs", and dirty floors. But the worst part were the beds. The smelly linen havn't been changed for a while. The beds had a strong odor of sweat. We quickly realized that the mattresses were even worse; saturated in sweat and dirt. The stinking pillows belonged in the trash not on anyone's bed.
It was too late at night and we were after 9 hours of driving. We covered the bed with towels and our own items got a bit of sleep. The following day, we bought our own pillows and linen and did our best not get in contact with the beds or any of the hotel's items. We also bought cleaning supplies and cleaned the shower areas, sinks and toilets in order that we may use them. How's that for vacation?
I obviously do not recommend this hotel. The problems appear to be systemic.
