Не повернусь та не рекомендую
Cons:

Брудна постіль, рушники, раковина та підлога. На підлозі клубок чужого волосся. Також неприємно пахло в номері.

Not a happy stay
Pros:

I like the location

Cons:

I booked online for the king suite and when we got there they had a problem finding my reservation ended up putting me in a subpar room that look nothing like the room I was supposed to get. There was no way to swap it out cuz there was no open room so I believe they rented mine out that I had reserved and prepaid.

Stay away—the most horrible, filthy, uncomfortable place we’ve ever stayed in
Pros:

Absolutely nothing

Cons:

This was a bait and switch situation. Without permission, they put us in a “hotel” 1/2 mile away from Abbey Archway—the one we’d contracted for—and wouldn’t even drive us there in the 40 degree below zero weather. Because of that we also couldn’t have the breakfast we had paid for as we could not possibly walk to the main hotel in that bitterly cold weather, so we had to pay even more for the Uber to the other facility and pay again for our breakfasts. When I checked Google reviews for the place where they actually put us the average review was 1.2 out of 5 and customers expressed the same complaints we had.

There were brown stains on the bedspread; it was filthy everywhere; had an incredibly moldy coffee pot and unusable, lumpy pillows; the walls were super thin so it was very noisy. It was also quite expensive (significantly more pricey than the lovely Pike’s hotel, where we stayed later). The outside steps were treacherous as they were not shoveled after some of the biggest snowstorms in decades. We hardly got any sleep because of the uncomfortable beds, pillows, noise, and general disgust. The proprietor REFUSED TO RESPOND after booking.com contacted them about our complaints and refused to respond to me when I followed up with them directly.

I feel there might be more going on than just renting rooms at this establishment.
Pros:

It was warm enough & out of the snow

Cons:

Appliances didn’t work properly. Not very clean. Maid service not very timely. All sorts of random coming & goings in the wee hours of the morning.

This is suitable for a night or two
Pros:

I was not at the property where breakfast was served so I was unable to access breakfast.

Cons:

Work was being done at the property so it was very noisy If you’re looking for an extended stay this is not the place.

Cons:

Felt like I went back to my college dorm room that had been remodeled since I graduated 30 years ago. The mattress felt like pieces of foam rubber stuffed inside plastic bags. Felt scetchy behind a NAPA auto parts store.

it was adequate but won't stay there again.
Pros:

Nice kitchen and refrigerator.

Cons:

The location was on the opposite side of town that we wanted but we didn't know that when we booked. after we got to the address we had to go to another nearby location. That should have been mentioned. We were without a car and there was nothing nearby. The microwave kept cutting off while we were trying to use it, I tried for 20 minutes and got no hot water in the shower but the bathroom was soaking wet. We could ot adjust the temps and we were freezing. Sorry, but we are from Florida. It was decent but not for the high price we paid for it.
