Pros:

Convenient location. Breakfast was decent.

Cons:

We reserved and paid for a double queen with a kitchenette and were told upon check in that this room type was not available. We were downgraded to a smaller room and not compensated for the change. We had specifically chosen this hotel because of this room size and type and would have stayed elsewhere if we knew we'd be in a standard room.

Awful

Laminated wood flooring was coming up in multiple places and stacked 2 deep in several places. Security chain on door was missing. Paint peeling off walls and paint chips on floor.

Overall great stay with lots of room.
Pros:

Quiet, large room with lots of drawer and counter space, roomy closet with ironing board, easy off street parking, really nice shower with hot water, accommodating staff.

Cons:

Minor stuff: Bed was too soft for my comfort, pillows were a bit lumpy, garish light bulb in one of the lamps.

Decent
Pros:

Comfortable other than one incident it was clean.

Cons:

Walls were pretty thin, you could hear everything from your neighbors. Upon waking up in the morning there were ants in the shower and wall going into the sink.
