Very disappointed would not rebook.
Pros:

Bed were comfortable and the ac worked good.

Cons:

Had to ask for a shower curtain and bath mat. Not enough towels for guests in the room and the hotel ran out of clean towels. Fruit flies were coming out of the garbage disposal and the dishwasher was very dirty. Carpet and bathroom floors were dirty. Hair in made beds. Smoking area was right out entrance and main parking requiring you to have to walk past it to enter.

The stay was nice and the lady assisting us when checking out, she was very nice.
Pros:

The suite was very nice and clean. The hotel was also quiet and peaceful.

Cons:

When checking in the person assisting us didn’t seem very happy. Also, you need more snacks in your snack machines.

Facility quality has greatly diminished in the year since I was there last.
Pros:

Convenient location to the airport
Reasonably priced
Desk clerk needs training but remained courteous throughout changes accommodated on my arrival

Cons:

Front desk clerk at check-in announced my room number aloud - I asked and he assigned a different room. Room assigned smelled strongly of fish. Changed again. Check-in process was poor.
Message in advance to the hotel about airport shuttle was never answered
