Decent room for a one night stay, plenty of room in a good location
Pros:

The location was nice. The room was very spacious and had tons of amenities.

Cons:

The walls were nasty and look like they had stains all over them. The curtains also had some stains on them as well. The pillow cases and sheets also had some stains on them as well. The room was hot also, no matter how low you turned the thermostat it never cooled down.

That we had a place to stay that had air conditioning when our home one went out.

Cons:

Pros:

The staff was great. Very nice to deal with.

Cons:

The guy in room 204 start talking on his telephone at 4 am in the morning, Saturday morning. The walls are thin and I could not sleep with all of his talking. It also happen Sunday morning, I don't remember the time it was. I go to hotel to sleep and not hear the person in the next room talking on the telephone. Everything else was fine.

I would not come back if I had a choice.
Pros:

The location

Cons:

It was run down and our room had an odd smell. Couldn’t put my finger on what the smell was but not a good smell. A weird smell. The towels were dirty in the bathroom. The couch was dirty and the carpets were dirty. Also this room had a small opening it, but you couldn’t use the oven because the cabinet next to it had a handle that was sticking out so you couldn’t open the oven door.

Horrible place
Pros:

Nothing. Lobby area all the way to the rooms were dirty. Had to change rooms twice due to first one smelled like someone had just smoked in there. 2nd one was not even able to get in. Keys didnIt work. Was given a new set of keys & still didn't work. Ended up cancelling & went to nearby hotel that was so much better for $20 more. When we were waiting in the lobby area so many people came with complaints about their rooms. I don't recommend this place at all I give it a zero

Cons:

Did not like anything at all!

Would not stay there again
Pros:

The ice machine!

Cons:

The hotel is old and rundown. Rooms are not clean, towels are thin and the uncarpeted floors were slimy. The door handle fell off our door. We had to call the front desk to get us out of the room!
