Would not stay there again.
Pros:

We didn't have the breakfast. The location was convenient.

Cons:

We were disappointed because the facility is old and run down. Our first room the AC didn't work so was moved. Second room only one bedside table and lamp.

Recommended for hospitality and accommodations. Easy to book online.
Pros:

Great location on entry to the town. We required emergency medical care during our stay and the hotel graciously accommodated our extended stay. I also appreciated the lights and TV in the foyer when I had to run out at 3:00am for medications.

Cons:

No shower curtain :)

Desperately need to renovate and upgrade everything
Pros:

Location to airport

Cons:

Room was stale (old smoke and cleaning materials)
Carpet was worn and stained
Bed sash was stained
Peeling paint
Dark peeling caulking
Worst mattress - broken and poking in the ribs. For a place for working guys to stay cheaply - they work hard and deserve a little better
People shouting and yelling and slamming doors - made me feel unsafe
Horrible breakfast area and availability
Front desk didn’t even have a number to call me a cab - had to ask a cleaning lady to assist them

Pros:

Courteous staff members and great communication over text. Readily available when needed basically. Any interaction at front desk during check in is lengthy but polite staff experience start to finish. I have booked here now more then once for a reason. It draws me back.

Cons:

At first I didn't like waiting to have a cleaned pet friendly room 1.5hrs after initial check in time but even with waits the staff are so polite. They are on top of cleanliness 24/7 throughout the hallways. On top of everything. Seems to be better experiences each passing time now. No complaints 👌
