Never again!
Pros:

Nothing only a hispanic lady from the office and a gentleman in the office for check out in the morning, they were both friendly and kind.
God bless their heart.

Cons:

One hindu lady who was very rude to me when I was just walking out my room to check out and she seemed to be a cleaning lady. No hot water. The tv control was missing the battery cap. And the tv only had one channel. It's very noisy in the mornings because of morning commute. I just honestly would never stay there again and I had my family with me and my children didn't like it at all either.
