Pros:

Good Location, near some great restaurant and shopping if needed.

Cons:

Housekeeping did not empty trash nor did they provide clean towels or pick up the dirty ones. We had to go downstairs to the lobby to get clean ones and request the dirty one to be picked up.
This might be a regular standard for them. Just wish they would have told me at check in.

Very nice people and well organized. Just the dark stains in the shower were a bit off putting.
Pros:

All is well! You get what you paid for. It was perfect for what we paid for.

Cons:

Shower could be cleaner-looked like dark stains were around the edges.

Disappointed as I’ve stayed there many times.
Pros:

Location

Cons:

The bathroom smelled like mildew, damp rags. I was charged twice on my card and the front desk didn’t seem to know how to take care of this issue.

Bad management
Pros:

Very incompetent service here. The hotel completely messed up the charges on our bookings. I tried to get hold of the Manger (Sal) to rectify the situation, but he didn't answer my many calls or emails. I have not come across such bad admin in a long time at a hotel. No offer to compensate the time wasted to sort it all out.

The price seemed a tad high when I booked, but my room & the hotel felt new & extremely clean
Pros:

Breakfast area seemed new, super clean, bright and well organized. Plenty of seating, with a good amount of people hitting the breakfast bar at the same time I was. Good selection of items, including greek yogurt and fresh fruit ( really good orange!)

Cons:

There really wasn't anything I didn't like. The only thing I would change is the parking area, which shares space with Red Lobster's patrons. I felt like once the restaurant was closed and patrons gone, my car might be left "out in the open", which I didn't really like. I suggest separating the hotel's parking architecturally/visually so it feels more like private hotel parking, without general public access.
