Das Preis-Leistungs-Verhältnis ist unschlagbar!!
Pros:

Sehr große Zimmer mit ausreichend Platz. Das Frühstück ist für amerikanische Verhältnis in Ordnung und bietet alles was man benötigt. Kostenloser Kaffe und Tee 24/7 an der Rezeption immer verfügbar.

Wir nehmen immer diese Hotel-Kette für unseren Aufenthalt in Amerika. Das Preis-Leistungs-Verhältnis ist unschlagbar.

Cons:

Eigentlich ist alles in Ordnung. Man bekommt keinen Luxus für den Preis aber auch nichts was total herunter gekommen ist.

Relaxing and stress free.
Pros:

When I checked in the front desk employee was very helpful and courteous. Got everything I needed for my stay and was very happy because my daughter was getting married the next day. The room was huge and very clean and comfy. And the breakfast they had was amazing, the cooks really knew how to make everything so tasty. I would recommend this hotel to all my family and friends. Thank you for allowing me the honor of staying in your fine establishment.

Cons:

Nothing everything was great.

Key location that requires upgrades&pesticides that is conveniently close to the children's hospital
Pros:

I like that i didnt realized the presence of 3 walking roaches, size of approx 4cm each. I got video and picture if you want them. There was no one when i turned in my key cards so i wasnt able to show it to them. The bathroom door was not closing easily. The entrance door had chipped lamination as if someone had tried to force it open. Not a very safe feeling. The bathroom toilet paper holder was wobly and the screws were holding for dear life. I like the family suite convenience but the sofa bed is quite old and the mattress comfort is non existen so i slept with the sofa closed. I am 5 7 so i had to sleep with my knees bent. I like the friendly hardworker that assists us, she remember my name and situation with our handicapped special kid and how smart she was logistically placing us on the first floor. I liked the fact that there were not many people crowding the breakfast but i realized that plenty of people left without even looking at the breakfast bar. I like that they are remodeling the floor and trying to update the lobby.

Cons:

To find the roaches in the morning... what if they walked over my stuff during the evening? what if they were walking over my childs medications? I didnt like the condition of the door and the sofa bed or futton that kept me slightly uncomfortable since 11pm to 7am. I didnt like the smell of moisture or dampened or non vented as soon as you open the door on arrival to the room.
