10/10 for giving my room requests actual mind and following it up with it
Pros:

Great check in experience as the front desk gave me the exact room to my "quiet corner room away from people as possible"
First time I got that, quiet experience with no one next door knocking on walls, or listening to their foot steps.
The beds actually had super comfortable mattresses compared to my last few stays at motel 6, so that was a big positive plus

Cons:

The housekeeping arriving super early around 6-7am and pushing their cart very loudly as hinting they want u out cause they want to clean the room. It was multiple times the houskeeping later stand by my door/window for a minute or 2 just listening which made me super uncomfortable, I get they want the most rooms done before their lunch but 7 am is way too early to be pushing guests to leave as we need to have our time and moneys worth to the room.

Didn’t stay because there were visible bed bugs. Can’t get a refund.
Cons:

Bed bugs. And not getting refunded for bed bugs. As well as booking.com not helping me to get a refund and the hotel manager being incredibly difficult. I will NEVER use booking.com again because of the lack of support despite the proof I provided with photos and that the county has since required them to treat for bed bugs.

Overpriced
Pros:

The room didn't look like on the picture when I was making the reservation.

Cons:

The room was very, very basic and small. Definitely, not worth $246 per night.
