Pros:

Cost efficient

Cons:

Description on Booking.com stated $20 pet fee which should have said $20 PER pet. I would have stayed at a different location had I known this fee was per dog. Location was confusing and hard to get to, staff rude comment, and the A/C smelled odd when blowing.

Great stay
Pros:

The pool and outdoor space was great. Hot breakfast was great too!

Cons:

My tv didn't work but I called the front desk and they got it fixed in about an hour. Also the door to my room did not lock. I did report that to the front desk when I checked out. The bathroom door hit the toilet each time you needed to close it or open it.

Bang for your buck
Pros:

The breakfast, served hot and made to order, not those watery, scrambled eggs, variety and it's made very early.

Cons:

The loudness and horrible appearance of the old a/c units in the rooms, next to the beds.
