Pros:

Room was very comfortable and quiet, sadly one of two elevators decided to take a nap. But all in all good location (likely better when all the highway construction is done) good value for the price.

Pros:

The checkin was long, the desk clerk wasn’t helpful and the airport shuttle driver was late. Also, the desk clerk failed to mention that we would be stopping at another hotel on the way to pick up more passengers. If we had taken the shuttle at 6am as the desk clerk recommended we would have missed our flight

Great breakfast, clean stay, fix the little things
Pros:

It definitely wasn't a Hilton. Room had a weird smell, like a wet hamburger. The carpets had dark spots on them, almost as if they hadn't been vacuumed in the corners of the rooms or those areas didn't get as much foot traffic. It was odd. The doors were beat up and I had to pull the door to shut all the way, otherwise it would have remained cracked open. There's no cover for the peep hole, so someone could look into your room from outside. I filled it with a tissue. The carpet always felt damp. The sprinklers were rusty. Breakfast was excellent. I got locked out of my room when my room key stopped working. Apparently they were having electrical issues at the same time, some sort of alarms were going off and they had personnel working on it. Housekeeping promptly escorted me up to my room to get me back in.
