Buyer beware
Pros:

It was easy to get to.

Cons:

The pictures did not accurately represent the rooms. There were damaged drawers in the room and the floors, table, microwave, and much of the bathroom was not cleaned properly.

Also, the bathroom outlet did not work.

No one should ever book this place
Pros:

Hotel was a dump and towels were raggedy. It was not a deluxe king and the rate was extortion! There was nothing to like

Cons:

Towels that were not ripped, air conditioner that shuts off and on and is noisy

Great late night emergency option
Pros:

The room was very clean. The tile was very stylish/pretty. But the A/C was very loud and the furniture was kind of shabby. The bed was too soft for my taste. The towels were kind of skimpy. However, these were emergency accommodations when our airline left us stranded at EWR at 1:00 AM and I am very grateful that they took us after midnight and allowed us a few hours of sleep. Staff was very accommodating.

Cons:

A/C was too loud. Furniture looked like it was found at a curbside "free stuff".

Falta mucha limpieza
Pros:

Nada

La Limpieza es pésima, la housekeeping acumula las toallas sucias en el bucket de la trapeadoras junto al agua sucia, la bańera tiene hongos además de estar en pésimas condiciones, las tohallas están muy sucias y huelen mal, las sábanas de cama sucias se ve que no las cambian, muy sucio , no lo recomiendo para nada
