For a 1 night stay, it was ok.
Pros:

The room was nice and bed was comfortable.

Cons:

The breakfast options were disappointing. The building itself is old and the fixtures, decor in lobby and hallways need some updating.

Not A Satisfied Customer
Pros:

Nice Queen size bed I got for same price when accidentally booked two beds.

Cons:

The TV was nice but the Oregon/Nebraska game was on that was played last Saturday and this was Wednesday. I tried to turn the channel but it wouldn't change.

The Safety was a Concern!! The desk clerk said I probably want to be able to watch my car!!! The area where you take your pet said you could enter only if you had your guest card. That wasn't true because I walked right in.

The desk clerk acted like she was on meth with talking fast and I couldn't hear what she was saying a few times. She seemed nice yet was repeating herself about the washer and that the dryer didn't work.

The parking lot was dim when it came to lighting.

Pros:

It was easy to book a room on booking.com. I liked the follow up text that came to me about check in. I liked to be able to check in online. The front desk was friendly. I L
liked the option for coffee and continental breakfast.
Location was great and it was fine for 1 night. We needed an Uber and wait time was less then 10 minutes!

Cons:

No elevator and we were on the 3rd floor. No big deal, but we had a pretty large/heavy cooler. We managed, but I know for next time then.

Because of the smell, I could hardly wait to get out.
Pros:

I think the breakfast was OK. I did not eat it.

Cons:

The room, heavily reeked with smoke to where you couldn’t breathe. If my husband had been with me, we would not have stayed. The stench was so bad.
I was told someone would call me on Monday morning after my stay, which they did not.
