Pros:

Nothing

Cons:

The 1st night the air conditioning wasn't working correctly. It was off when we arrived and just wasn't capable of cooling the room in anyway. It was so hot it made my wife ill, it ruined her day at universal studios. She was very upset

Hot and miserable
Pros:

Location

Cons:

The air conditioner did not work all week during heat wave
No offer of discount or any solution other than to have me and my family move all our things to a new room but was informed all rooms are having ac issues so it wasn’t really a solution

Disappointing
Pros:

Inside didn’t have carpet, which is great for pets traveling with you. The sink/vanity was updated and nice.

Cons:

Rooms were dirty. Walls, baseboards, and bathrooms were gross. There were spiders everywhere and despite killing at least four of them, we still woke with bites and found more the next morning. There was no air conditioning in the first room assigned and the fan they provided was old and barely helped. Luckily we brought our own fan. We were eventually able to move to another room but the air conditioning was still poor. We saw many other guests also without air conditioning who were using fans in their rooms to pull the cooler outside air into the room. This facility uses a communal microwave, which is all the way in the office and a bit gross since it was frequently dirty.

Ok
Pros:

Quiet area

Cons:

Inside of the room was full of scratches on the floor, which was very weird. There were bugs all over the floor and blood all over the floor in the shower.

Not a pleasant stay.
Pros:

Close to the Walmart.

Cons:

The key to the room is always not working, so I have to go to the receptionist to make it active when I am already in front of my room.
Please upgrade your key system, makes it convenience for the guests.

Pros:

It appeared clean

Cons:

The stairs were uneven so difficult to manage with luggage. Room was smaller than expected and ceiling was very low. Anyone taller than 5’6” would be too tall for comfort.
