Great location, good price, decent breakfast.Du
Pros:

Adequate

Cons:

They pick up the garbage from the dumpster under our windows at 5 in the morning. One day it was a little after 4 am. They make an awful racket.
The pillows were all to fat. A couple of different sizes would help. AC and heat, and fridge and micro wave worked well.

Basic accommodation for two nights so it served my purposes.
Pros:

Well located for my needs.

Cons:

The general upkeep of the facility could be much better. The room did seem to be clean but not particularly appealing. Everything at the location in general just looked rather tired and worn.
