Affordable in a good location
Pros:

The room was clean and comfortable. Breakfast was available and okay with some options. Location is convenient to downtown and the aquarium. Fine hotel for a brief stay. I cannot comment on the pool or gym as I did not have time to use them.

Cons:

Only one complaint during my stay. The shower sliding doors would not stay closed no matter what I tried. There was always a gap of a couple of inches that caused some water to leak out.

Pros:

Bella la camera, classica americana con bagno all’entrate, due letti grandi e mobile su un lato. Bello il bagno con doccia 👍🏻
Punto negativo della struttura è la sala colazione. Non per quanto riguarda il cibo e le bevande (anche se erano migliorabili. Soprattutto uova e bacon) ma per i posti a sedere:solo 20!! (ovviamente stretti)
Posteggio dell’hotel a pagamento 👍🏻

Pros:

I loved the location

Cons:

It was undergoing renovations.
The elevator was draped(kind of creepy). Part of the parking lot was blocked off and workers were everywhere on the 2nd level

Mediocre experience but at least it was slightly cheaper than the nice option.
Pros:

Staff was nice.

Cons:

The door to my bathroom was auto-closing like I couldn't leave it open when I went back to grab my clothes out of the room it would just automatically shut on me every time. It was more of a front door than a bathroom door. The shower door had the opposite issue, I would slide the door shut and 2 seconds later it would be halfway open and water would be splashing out. I also had a rubber shower pad left in my room one day then the next I had a towel and it sort of rotated which was fine but just strange. The bedding was relatively comfortable and other than some wear and tear cosmetically the place wasn't too bad.
The breakfast was probably what you expect at a budget-friendly hotel, kind of just okay but at least they had a couple of options.
The pool was about 6 ft wide and 12 feet long and I am not entirely sure what the point of even having it is because it was so small? Also the gym was horrible basically a bike and a treadmill and that is it, but most hotel gyms are that way.

Pros:

The wall paper in the bathroom. The blue was stunning.

Cons:

The toilet paper roll was back on the wall behind. Made it a stretch to reach for it. Not convenient.should have been located to the side of the toilet. Maybe sunken in flush with the counter under the sink.
