Very comfortable, clean and everything felt new.
Pros:

Clean, comfortable, everything new.

Cons:

I liked almost everything. Amazing deal for the price.
Kids running and screaming in the corridor on the morning woke us up so not cool, but other than that it was great.

Pros:

The bed was comfortable and the AC was cold.

Cons:

I slept comfortably but the room smelled like stinky feet. The shower needs a good scrub down and the TV's need to be upgraded. The breakfast and breakfast staff were lacking. The full options were not available all three mornings of my stay. The staff were annoyed when I asked for more milk and fruit. The pool room was uncomfortably hot. An open window for airflow is needed for such a small, hot space.

Pros:

Bed are comfortable. Breakfast is great.

Cons:

Staff was half hearted at best. My last night there, a man came into my room, my locked room. When I went to the front desk at 2am, the guy was there. I told the front desk guy he had come into my room. The desk clerk told me no big deal he's drunk I'm taking care of it. Unacceptable!

Pros:

The breakfast was a good value for the total price, and part of the reason why I booked this hotel. The room was clean and at least one of the check-in staff members was friendly. They already expected my arrival.

Cons:

The desk lamp didn't have a wire attached to it, making it unusable. I also found that the lamp lights in the room were harsh and didn't provide good light for reading and/or writing, which I needed to do.

we did not stay after checking out two rooms which were both unacceptably unkempt.
Pros:

The first room we checked into smelled like an ashtray. The second room that they tried to check us into smelled like my high school running shoes. We did not stay at the property it was so bad.

Cons:

Room cleanliness.

nice stay but managers could be a little more accommodating to multi night stay,HONORS members...
Pros:

i loved that marylou's coffee and the showcase cinema were literally a few yards away(not that the hotel put those businesses there though lol)

Cons:

i know i booked with a 3rd party but i stayed 4nights and im an honors member.. when my travel plans got complicated last min and i needed to extend they should've worked with me on the price instead of stressing me out to the point i cried because i was worried id be stuck outside with my dog in 100degree weather because i couldn't afford to extend one night and wanted me to pay a SECOND 150$ deposit also they charged me the 150$ at the beginning when its supposed to be JUST A HOLD... causing my financial situation to be even more stressful they easily could've worked something out with me for one night... also the dolleys didnt work well... they had plenty of area to add more grass and make outdoor seating/patio area.. also they didn't allow anyone's key to open the back door which is really inconvenient and they didn't keep up with doggy baggies for customers pets.. which would lead to shit in the already small patches of grass
