The shower head wasn't great

I would not stay again.
Pros:

Location was good. Guy at the front desk was kind.

Cons:

The room was dirty. Hair and debris everywhere! It was gross! I didn’t even want to be in there. The fridge did not work unless the light was on so we had to remove the light bulb to sleep. Parking was tough. They have double parking spaces and the guy wanted us (or other people parked there) to leave our car keys with him so he could move cars when we needed to leave. Luckily, there were other spaces available at times. Toilet was super loud for minutes after flushing.

Good location but not worth it
Pros:

The location.

Cons:

The hotel itself is very rundown. The pictures are very deceiving. The light on the wall in our room was flickering all night. The outlet on the wall in bathroom wasn’t secured in the wall which is very dangerous. Bedding and towels had stains. Parking is terrible if you arrive later.
