I should’ve chosen one of the cheaper places.
Pros:

Nothing

Cons:

There was a very odd smell. There was a humidifier plugged in in my room, which is already very small so it was taking up my walking space there was a dog next-door kept me up. Nothing is updated.

Pros:

The staff was professional, neat, very curteous and clean.

Cons:

The mattress was hard as a brick and extremely uncomfortable. The TV had dated equipment. You had to use two remote devices to operate. The breaksfast didn't have bacon or scrambled eggs, only poached (or fried, hard to tell) and hard boiled eggs, no cereals and the sausage was so over cooked it was like leather. TV in dining area was inoperable.

Even though the first impression was that of a dump, the cleanness and service was really a nice treat.
Pros:

The carpet and linens were clean and new. I surprisingly had room service every day without asking for any. The free breakfast was the best of any hotel that I’ve been to that served a free breakfast!

Cons:

The room (non smoking) smelled strongly of smoke. The room finishes were outdated and showed a lot of wear and tear. The bathroom fixtures were wobbly but functional.
