Comfortable stay.
Pros:

Very clean room. comfortable bed and pillows. Nice linens. Delicious breakfast with lots to choose from. Very nice young lady setting up breakfast. Good parking.

Cons:

The TV service was terrible and confusing. We call for help at 6 pm and the hotel didn't have any staff to come check on it. The front desk employee tried to help via phone.

Plumbing drama
Pros:

Good location

Cons:

Toilet was running for most of our stay. Asked for it to be fixed first day, given suggestions to take the lid off and fix it ourselves. Asked for it to be fixed. Was toward the end of our stay.
