Pros:

Staff was friendly & helpful

Cons:

Located near an active railway; louder than I would have liked. The entrance door was not flush to the ground. I used a towel to reduce noise & keep out the cold air.

Staff refused to check me in!
Pros:

Can't comment because I was refusedto check in. (See below).

Cons:

I didnt like anything because when I arrived at 9:30pm to check in, the staff was grumpy and didmt like my temporary parking in front of the office and was not courteous with his way of asking me to move my vehicle. When I said "sure, I'll move it but that's a weird way of asking". When Injumped in my truck to move it, he came outside and said "you know, I'm not going to check you in, you can leave". So I left. Then I got charged for the room and have been dealing with booking.com to try and get a refund and a resolution to this. I still habe not receive any communication from the hotel despite my attempts through booking.com and still habe not received a refund. Be careful. Don't offend the front desk staff, or you'll be refused

Post you're required daily service policiy
Pros:

Location and price.

Cons:

The required service every day. If that's your policy you should post it somewhere where I can read it and know that I do not have a choice for service or not, regardless if I just got service the day previous. The cleaning ladies and the front desk were very rude. Knocking, calling, and finally yelling for me to open the door for service. And all I wanted was to sleep.

More tissues please.
Pros:

The convenience was good.

Cons:

The business next door had forklifts going almost nonstop with beeping and horns. Not even the train going behind room was that bad. The bathroom as really water damaged, the bathtub didn't drain well, the shower curtain rod was falling down and curtain didn't stay closed. The smell of mildew when I first walked in was overwhelming and instantly sent my allergies into full effect.
