Cons:

That I had to leave.

Great atmosphere with expensive breakfast
Pros:

The hotel lobby and staff was friendly. We were told our room included breakfast in the morning, which I thought was included. It was a breakfast buffet and would have cost $15 per person if we didn't have our vouchers. It was a fine assortment of breakfast but not for $15. The bed was comfortable and had a variety of pillows. The shower water turned cold about 15 minutes in. Yes I take a long shower. Parking was free.

Awesome stay
Pros:

Was very quiet, and the front desk ladies was very sweet and informative of everything that was available to me

Cons:

Nothing, except the cold. It was -16 below zero, and i gad my heater on full blast, and still felt chilly. But i don't think thats the hotels fault. Just mother nature. Lol
