Not clean at all and the smell in the room will knock you down
Pros:

Location to where I needed to be

Cons:

Was evacuated 3 times due to fire alarm going off. Staff was not giving direction to anyone on what to do
The lobby foyer was flooded a bit there were buckets catching water from the ceiling. Light fixture dangling and ceiling exposed. Could not open automatic door because of this problem had to slide the heavy glass door open. The room smelled of mildew and made all my clothes smell this way. Will never go back here.

It's OK. I expect a higher level of cleanliness.
Pros:

The bed was comfortable and the shower was great! The staff was friendly and helpful. The breakfast was good.

Cons:

The first room I was assigned smelled musty. I changed rooms to an upper floor and the smell was better. The carpet was dirty and there were stains on the chair in the room.
