Pleasant and relaxing.
Pros:

Location. Hotel rooms have always been clean. Quiet too.

Cons:

Keycard system is old and the keycards tend to de-magnetize easily. I don’t like bothering them past office closing time. But that’s just me. They were accommodating and helpful. No problem getting new keycards.

Pros:

The location of the hotel was great and the bed was super comfortable.

Cons:

We only had two pillows and they were super flat. The complementary shampoos and lotions were open and had used. The breakfast was wasn’t very good. The coffee stir sticks were covered in dried milk, a black thing came out of the waffle batter. There was no juice just coffee and warm milk. An owner walked in to add more fruit and wasn’t wearing any shoes. For what we paid it wasn’t worth it.

Convenient location, I would stay here again.
Pros:

Top end furnishings, bathroom was small BUT toilet, vanity, mirror, shower were excellent.

Cons:

Bathroom was cramped, two people would have a problem. Shower pressure was very low, water conserving, I would guess. TV was smaller, larger TV would be nice to see from across the room.. Did not try the breakfast, that is important for the price pad.

Very bad experience
Pros:

We didn't eat breakfast at this place.

Cons:

The sheets smelled like body odor, the bath towels had so many dark spots, some looked like dried poop or dried blood, there were long black hair sticking to the sheets and blankets.
