ZERO CUSTOMER SERVICE - NO ROOM SERVICE FOR STAYS LESS THAN 7 Days
Pros:

Lousy hotel, lousy unprofessional management. Room wasn’t serviced two days in a row! Asked owner/manager in the morning to have my room serviced, that I was a diamond, and he said they don’t service rooms for less than 7 days stay. It wasn’t serviced again today

Only if absolutely necessary
Pros:

It is next to the airport

Cons:

Absolutely bare bones. I could hear everything through the hallway door and from the room above, which made it hard to sleep. The heater was also loud and right next to the bed.

The employees were very pleasant and the room was clean except for the chair I stayed in all night.
Pros:

1st floor room, clean and check-in clerk was very personable.

Cons:

Individual(s) in the room above was/were pacing back and forth all night. Our room was by public bathrooms, housekeeping room, and maintenance room which was very loud for travelers that arrived at 10pm and awake at 3:30 for flight. Request prior to check-in for recliner or chair with ottoman due to injury was not accommodated.

Musty smell, and the heating/cooling unit did not work well.
