I'll definitely come back!
Pros:

The room was nice, clean, and well-maintained, making for a comfortable and pleasant stay. The air conditioning worked very well and kept the room cool, which was especially appreciated during the heat wave. It provided a welcome escape from the high temperatures outside. The bed was also very comfortable, allowing for a good night's rest after a long day. Overall, the room offered a relaxing and comfortable environment, and I was pleased with the cleanliness and amenities provided.

Cons:

NOTHING

Very poor because of the location of the hotel. The hotel also needs to do a lot of renovations
Pros:

There was no breakfast. Not much really since outside the hotel were a bunch of homeless people doing drugs and a car wash location right next to the hotel being very noisy.

Bed offered a nice night’s sleep but location seemed depressing and the shower/bathroom kind of ruined the stay.
Pros:

New floors, bed was decent; suite style was nice

Cons:

Bathroom had old floors, dirty door; the tub had 4 dead bugs and hair from a previous person; shower water pressure was very weak; towels were very thin; pool was closed but not presented as closed when I booked

It was almost worth the money.
Pros:

The rooms are large. They were clean. It's in a convenient location. The daytime staff was nice.

Cons:

The gates made it harder for Door Dash service. The vending machine for drinks was completely empty. The pool was closed. The bathrooms are tiny.

Pros:

We liked everything. The room was like a suite, with big refrigerator and stove top. Express check in and after being in the car traveling for hours, that was wonderful. We would definitely stay there again. Close to Dennys and Black Angus. HoJo you Rock

Nothing
