Pros:

Location

Cons:

When we arrived to enter the room, we were greeted by a roach on the door. Then spotted another roach in the room. So our experience was little uncomfortable because of concerns of seeing more and the possibilities of them getting in our luggage. So we slept there with using the shower checked out early the next morning.

Overall I enjoyed my stay
Pros:

Very convenient to the party I needed to attend.

Cons:

The chair at the desk needs to be replaced or repaired. The tub was too high for a person who has a disability.

Quiet, safe and convenient location at a decent rate.
Pros:

Room was quiet and hotel was in a convenient location.

Cons:

The staff could have been much friendlier.
The hotel is showing age and could ideally use a remodel.

Horrible
Cons:

Booked 5 days nonrefundable, so bad I left after 1 night. Description said pool, no pool. Room was damaged, large red stain on carpet. Looked like transitional housing. Asked to look at another room. Just as bad. Smelled like weed.

Doubtful we will be back. If we do it be because of the efforts of the Front Desk Clerks
Pros:

The responsiveness of the staff.

Cons:

Track on the floor at the entrance of my room. Bulbs dead in the closet, living room and over the desk. The person who checked us offered to come change it but she was very busy. But she did clean the trash that on the floor.
Also, our door was jammed. We literally had to break in the room when both of left at the same time. The gentleman offered to move us but that would have been an even bigger hassle.

Our housekeeper smelled like he had just smoked weed which explain why the front desk clerk had to clean up the trash in the floor.
