Turn on the damn AC!
Pros:

Close to downtown.

Cons:

They're too cheap to turn on the A/C at night, it was steaming hot in the lobby, the padding on the arms of the chair in my room were ripped so bad it looked like it came from Goodwill.

Safe and ok.
Pros:

Close to Metropolitan Center

Cons:

Room. We are so accustomed to the other location. Bathroom small too close to bathroom door is too close to toilet . Shower was clean but more work needed to clean trim. Kitchen we only had one fork, one spoon, one bowl and only two cups and two glasses. Bed was too close to air conditioner and notice mouse hole. Saw a couple roaches in bathroom and kitchen. We thought that the breakfast would be similar to the other Home2 (400 Gervais) but wasn’t. Had bacon (yeah) and the pastry was good but coffee was warm and too strong. This will be my last resort location when we can’t get into the other location.

Big difference in cleanliness from last March. Not sure we will return.
Pros:

The location was close to the university.

Cons:

Not enough parking.
The elevators were dirty floors filthy fingerprints all over and smelled dirty.
The level we stayed on had garbage on the ground everytime we walked out of our room.
Our room didn’t have bath towels and the pullout bed wasn’t made so we had to call for both. Staff was responsive but it took 30mins.

Pros:

Good location

Cons:

Our room wasn’t available when we checked in, we did receive a voucher for the grill for the inconvenience. However, when it came to check in time, our room was still dirty! The hotel as whole was not very clean. The tile floors were constantly dirty as well as the elevators. The rooms were supposed to be serviced every day, but ours never was!
