Pros:

The staff were friendly and helped us with any needs. The room was clean. Easy access for walking pets.

Cons:

The shower drained very slow so you were standing in ankle deep water while showering. The laminate flooring had gaps.

It’s good
Pros:

Location

Cons:

The room I stayed in smelled of cigarettes, even though there were "no smoking" signs. I don't know why, but it reeked of smoke.

Who are they giving key cards to your room?
Cons:

At about 2 pm a "staff" member used a key card and entered my room when I was undressed. There was no reason for the room to be cleaned, because I checked into the room earlier that day and it was already cleaned. Later in the evening it sounded like someone tried to enter the room again, but at this point in time I had the deadbolt engaged.
