Great location but horrible price
Pros:

Close to the venue. Staff is so nice! Bonus..this year there were no toilet issues. What I do love most is the hotel was full and there was plenty of hot water.

Cons:

The price is outrageous. I've stayed for 3 years. The first year was $800. Now it's $2000+. Same dates. Same room. It is so small. Hard for 4 people to move. Room was supposed to have a microwave and did not. Fridge barely worked.

It was so bad we didn’t stay the night and neither the hotel or booking.com would refund our money. Booking.com and this
Pros:

Honestly nothing about this place was good.

Cons:

The price was $400 a night and It was run down. Wall paper falling off the walls, wires hanging out of electrical receptacles, faucet not even attached to the counter top, burn marks on the walls, cracked ceilings, bathroom was like something from a public restroom your find on the street.

Pros:

The location was close to where I was going.

Cons:

The room smelled like stale smoke, there were stains and actual gunk on the walls. The room clearly hasn't been cleaned in some time. There was a hole in the wall, the toilet seat was about to fall off, and there was rust buildup in the tub.

It was good, we will definitely be renting this hotel again
Pros:

I liked that the hotel was clean, the room was big enough for the 4 of us and it was quiet

Cons:

The free breakfast left much to be desired, it was nothing but packaged danishes and muffins, and I didn’t like the fact that I had requested extra pillows more than twice and never received them

Never stayed canceled
Pros:

A hotel was absolutely terrible. There was a drug deal in the parking lot and someone fighting right next at McDonald’s and the rooms were terrible. I ended up canceling my stay because I did not feel safe as a single mother with my kids.

Cons:

Everything

Cons:

the outlet by the vanity did not work and looked scary with a wire hanging out of one of the buttons. The room had a smoky smell to it and the vanity backsplash was dirty.
