Rock solid lodging - clean, comfortable, well-maintained.
Pros:

I was pleasantly surprised by the condition and cleanliness of the room. The location was great because there's a grocery store a short 5 minute away and a good restaurant. This is a great option if you need a few night stopover on your travels.

Cons:

This is relatively minor but the ceiling lights are a bright, sterile white and there are no other lights (eg lamps) in the room.

AC wasn't cold enough
Cons:

The air conditioning wasn't cold enough and did not cool the room adequately. It would be helpful if the cooling performance could be improved.
