I would not recommend anyone to stay
Pros:

The location was perfect, about a mile from the outlets,

Cons:

The Linen was nasty. Myself and my spouse was so uncomfortable with sleeping on the linen we had to go out and buy linen just to get a good night rest, That was so unfair to us especially after paying nearly $300 for one night. This was very disappointing

Do not recommend for vacation stay
Cons:

The 3rd floor smelt like a dead body. And this was an extended stay so people lived here. Not a great vacation stay.

It was a great stay this is my second time! Thank you
Pros:

I like the space the rooms are huge specially as a mom that definitely comes to handy and
The free washing machine and dryer

Cons:

If I had to, I didn’t like something I would say I didn’t like my last night. There was a roach on my kitchen counter in my sheets, had those lint balls, so it was kinda itchy on my skin, but other than that, nothing

Good location, staff needs to step up their game.
Pros:

Good location.

Cons:

Staff seemed to ignore basic housekeeping and courtesy. For example, there was trash on the floor around a trash can in the coffee area - I’m sure staff saw this because they’d replaced cups and creamer, but the trash remained.
Also, the guy at the front desk was more interested in his cell phone than taking care of us when we checked in.

The staff was really nice.
Pros:

The staff was really nice.

Cons:

The rooms were damp. Apparently the carpets are shampooed after each stay and left to air dry prior to the next guest checking in, our room was so damp when we checked in that we requested to be placed in another room. Other than that, it was ok. The staff was really nice.
