Pros:

It had a refrigerator

Cons:

Check in was a pain. Even though they make a big deal out of quiet hours etc you could hear the TV's in adjoining and above rooms until way after and starting at :5:30 am. People returning very late and talking very loud outside to the point of waking you up.

I would definetly stay again for sure.
Pros:

The towels smelled so good and they weren't real rough like most motel/hotels. The staff was incredibly friendly. The room was huge for a King, could fit a porter crib in their if traveling with a small child. Price was great for a last minute decision to go to the beach.

Cons:

Did not have many TV channels, but we weren't there to watch TV anyway.
