Pros:

Looks very nice on outside, but was pretty dirty on the inside, toilet wouldn't flush, terrible lumpy pillows, window AC sucked, poor craftsmanship, fixtures were rusty, curtains were stained, door lock was broken, smelled musty inside, water pressure sucked. Don't recommend this one

Pros:

The room was very spacious and clean. Wish breakfast was plentiful. They only provided waffles and muffins; beverages were water, tea or coffee. They sold soda. No orange juice nor apple juice on site. Other than that everything else was pretty good.

Pros:

Basic amenities are there which is already acceptable for a cheap price
The problem is it got really noisy at night you can hear nearby room people open and closing their doors and even the vehicles passing the road. We got unlucky the next room occupants have no shame and we don’t get enough sleep due to their noise .They think they own the whole inn

Find somewhere else
Pros:

Stay started out OK, room seemed to be in order and mostly clean upon arrival. After the first night, room service came and took trash but nothing else. I asked if they would come back later to turn down beds and replace towels, they said they’d be back later. Later that day after being out and about, we were going to use the room to get ready for a wedding. Upon our return the Beds still not made, no fresh towels as requested. Called front desk and got attitude about requesting it again. 30 mins later I walked to the front desk and finally had to have staff walk me to housekeeping closet to get towels and bed sheets and made it up myself. Throughout entire stay, neighbors loud and obnoxious throughout the day and night. Decided complaining further wasn’t worth the time or hassle, just won’t stay there again or recommend to anyone.
