Pros:

Plenty of parking, comfortable beds, *huge* closet, short 6 minutes from the convention i was attending.

Cons:

Wifi was really hit or miss, had to sit in the front of the room to get wifi. Not very sound proof and was able to hear people running down the hall or the kids screaming in the room next door.

I was in ghetto haven!
Pros:

The best thing about this stay was the shower head that is it!

Cons:

There was bugs crawling in the bathroom, the bathroom was old and badly kept, the toilet was very low to the floor, the blankets were full of lint and had a hole in them from a cigarette, a guy was in the parking lot sitting in the back of his vehicle smoking weed

Good value for the money.
Pros:

The bed was extremely comfortable as well as the pillows. The room was very clean. I really appreciated that.

Cons:

There had been a leak in the ceiling of the bathroom. That should be sealed and painted.
