Will never stay there again!
Pros:

The location only.

Cons:

The bed was super uncomfortable, the bathroom toilet super small and low. The comforter on one of the beds was stained. The AC, was making a horrible noise, but I told the front desk in the morning and they fixed it. The room did not smell good at all.
