Ant infestation on my final day.
Pros:

The location is good. Checking in and out was easy.

Cons:

Uncomfortable bed. Small shower. Overhead lighting flickered throughout the weekend. On the morning of my last day, I entered the restroom to find dozens of ants coming out of the corner wall which quickly scattered around the room. Disgusting.
