Exhausting
Pros:

It was available.

Cons:

The fire alarm went off 3 times starting at 12:45 am until about 1:30 am. For $260 a night in a questionable area, it was awful.

Won't be staying again
Pros:

Beds were comfortable. Bathroom was nice

Cons:

The fire alarm went off twice! Once around 12:30am then turned off about 10 seconds later but all 3 of us got up scrambling to get out. We all laid back down and just got back to sleep then about a half an hour later it went off again same thing we all get up scrambling thinking there really must be a fire but it turned off again. We went down to the lobby anyways this time to find out what was going on. Fire department was there so I needed up asking one of them and he said a faulty system. While down there I overheard that it was room 406 that was setting the alarm off and the fire chief and lady at the desk were discussing that the hotel manager on duty was working on getting them into the room to check things out but then they left without inspecting the room....

Unacceptable!
Pros:

Very convenient location

Cons:

I was there for 3 nights, I had to ask housekeeping to clean my room. It was was a sewer smell. The bathroom and shower floor was dirty. I brought my own cleaning supplies and cleaned it. Very disappointed and I paid a decent penny.
