Pros:

Price

Cons:

Was charged for a no show night when booking.com had changed the date to arrive a day later. Price difference between booking .com and hotel charge. Was next to office so all the coming and going upset my dog. Got a call from office while I was at dinner that my dog was barking!

Pros:

Location.. shower had a lot of pressure and hot water..

Cons:

Walk in the room it smelled heavily of mildew…pillows were thin, beds were uncomfortable… the security lights shined right in the window. Mildew was all in the air conditioned unit. Asked for extra pillows and they didn’t have any pillowcases for them.

Pros:

The staff member was very friendly. The accommodations were clean and comfortable for the overnight stay.

This is absolutely never ever gonna be anywhere I ever stay again!
Pros:

There was absolutely nothing to like about the property!

Cons:

The rooms were bare, the cable does not work and has not worked for at least a year. Apparently, there was no water pressure in the tub when you turned on the water it drizzled and took 45 minutes to run a bath, NO JOKE!
