Pros:

It was what I expected and a good stay.

Cons:

I like that they had an on site parking deck, but the parking spots were just to tight and close in proximity to each other. The parking is awful and not enough handicapped parking spaces.

Room was clean.

Room wasn't ready, over an hour delay. Shuttle unreliable, forced to walk everywhere. Included breakfast was laughable. Facilities were lacking, dated, in need of repair.
