Pros:

I received phone calls at 1:30am and 5am on the first night of my stay. Not a great night of sleep. The front desk said the calls must have come from another room. On my second night, I assumed whoever made the previous calls would realize they were calling the wrong room, but nope - more calls. Unplugged, but damage done. Not a pleasant experience!

Good place to stay
Pros:

Great bed to sleep in, clean room, coffee for the morning was great The only drawback for us is the toilets were too short. We are old and handicap ones would be better for us.

Pros:

The vinyl floor in my room was filthy! I had to wash the floor between the bed and the bathroon in order to keep my feet clean. A vinyl floor is so easy to clean so there is no excuse!@
