It wasn’t horrible but for 300$ it was a little pricey , beds were comfortable though.
Pros:

Beds were comfortable, place is a little run down and showers are not the greatest . It wasn’t a 300$ stay like I paid for (1 night). But staff was friendly

Cons:

Hotel rooms just look run down.

Horrible and unsecure.
Pros:

Location

Cons:

drunk people drinking in the front parking lot. Security and management didn't noticed it. I had to tell the manager about it and after that she sent security . It was unbelievable they didn't noticed that since it was happening at a short distance from the entrance to the lobby. We didn't feel secure.

Cons:

It wasn’t very clean. Seen trash under the bed and hair around the bathroom. The carpet in the hallways looked dirty and worn. Also the elevator scared me it took forever and made a lot of noise.
