Pros:

My room was spacious and hotel lobby looked cleaned and inviting. Hot coffee and breakfast were available each morning.

Cons:

Sorry but I wasn't a fan of "wet" scrambled eggs for breakfast and bacon wasn't available every day otherwise a good variety for breakfast. There didn't seem to be an option to fully close the blinds/shades. Myself and a couple others I traveled with had trouble figuring out how the tv channels worked. Finally there was a dead roach in the corner of my room when I arrived. It was in the far corner of the living room space so I left it thinking when my room was cleaned it would be removed, but it was not. Obviously, the floors are not part of the cleaning routine.

It was a great choice for tired, road weary travelers.
Pros:

The hotel was clean and comfortable. The staff were friendly and helpful.

Cons:

There was nothing really to not like. We were tired from our road trip and happy with our choice since it was so comfortable.
