Pros:

Good location

Cons:

Rooms were not as clean I would have liked for the price. Toilet seat kept falling off. Bath fan did not vent good so when taking a shower it steamed up the whole room and was muggy.

Not worth it.
Pros:

Views.

Cons:

Extremely dirty. Everything was stained. The curtain stained, walls stained, bed and sheets stained, shower curtain stained. Chairs outside were stained. Bugs crawling on floor. Used coffee left in the dispenser. Bed was very firm, pillows too soft. Woke up in neck pain throughout the night. Bathroom smelled like a portal potty. Would not recommend.
