Stay was meh.....
Pros:

Staff did help with TV issues in 1st Room, moved us to a different room.

Cons:

We couldn't dial in the Temperature of A/C in room either too hot/cold. The shower door leaked, bed was too hard. TV package didn't have enough main channels. No microwave in room. Parking was limited on front door side. I thought the room rate was high for what we got in return.

Mediocre. I wish I stayed elsewhere.
Pros:

The room was large and fairly clean.

Cons:

The main door of the room was broken and would not lock with the safety. You can hear noises from all of the other rooms. There was no soundproofing very thin walls. The biggest issue was the bathroom door was a sliding barn door that was very difficult to open. So you needed a person on the outside to actually open the door or you would be locked in. The staff did nothing to correct this. Save your money, Go anywhere else!

Pros:

The room itself was clean and well-maintained and the staff was polite and helpful, making check-in and basic services easy. Overall, the accommodations met expectations for comfort and cleanliness.

Cons:

The location was less than ideal, situated in a rougher part of town with noticeable street activity, including panhandlers and loiterers. Security was tight, requiring guests to be buzzed in to enter the premises, which, while understandable, made access a bit inconvenient and highlighted safety concerns about the surrounding area.
