Disappointing in all aspects
Pros:

N/A

Cons:

Roaches, broken furniture, questionable stains on carpet, dirty dishes in dishwasher at check in. Staff changed one room upon request, no apologies was made about the condition of the place. Laundry room and gym both were out of use without prior notice or reimbursement. Tried to get assistance from booking to cancel the stay since it was beyond disappointing and filthy, unfortunately they were not able to get a hold of the office nor were we. There was maybe once during a week stay that we actually saw someone at the front desk. Housekeeping never even came to clean the room during the stay or pick the trash. We were kind of stuck in that place due to prepayment and no reply from the property.

good value if you book early
Pros:

good flat space and many plugs-- TV worked but old low resolution-- AC could be adjusted without blowing on me-- seemed like they were trying

Cons:

luggage carts not available on arrival and departure we carried a ton of stuff by hand-- only 3 available for over 100 rooms- disability wall anchors not stable-- worrisome in the shower -- carpet was pretty old as were furnishings-- i dont like soft beds

Cheap, but the smells and disinterested staff made for an overall poor experience.
Pros:

The location was great and it was easy to get to. It was very convenient for where we had to be on the morning.

Cons:

When we arrived, no one was at the desk and there was no way to alert someone that we were there. After about 10 minutes, a disinterested person came from the back of the office to check us in.
The hallways smelled of cannabis. The room had an odd smell. There was something sticky and gross on the bed foundation.
