Pros:

The staff was very nice and helpful. The room and bathroom were clean. Pool was clean and accessible.

Cons:

A lot of road noise, though there isnt much that can be done about that since they're right off the highway. There was also a TON of hallway noise throughout the evening...I dont know what could be done about that, but maybe different doors or some seals around the doors, or something.

Cons:

When I got to the room, the room smelled like it was humid and smudgie, the bathroom tub has red meldew on the edges and on the tub white mat and on the entrance hallway a big dead roach in the carpet.
