Okay, but I've stayed at cheaper places that were at this level of niceness.
Cons:

Furnishings and flooring were old. Hallways smelled of pot. There was an unremovable stain on the edge of the tub. Breakfast was unimpressive.

I'll never stay here again
Pros:

The bed was comfortable.

Cons:

The hallways smelled of marijuana and urine. Our floor in our room was sticky and when I informed with the front desk he told me that the housekeeping staff was tired and asked me if I would like to clean it myself.
