Clean comfortable but pesty
Pros:

The rooms were clean and comfortable. Staff was courteous

Cons:

I killed a lot of little roaches, about 8 to be exact. Two in the kitchen area and the rest in the bathroom. I noticed the light globe in the bathtoom had a few dead roaches in it.
When I reported to the staff, they did offer to move us but I declined. Who's to say I wasn't going to see any in the next room.

Pros:

The room was very big and we loved it. I booked it when we was driving up from Tennessee.

Cons:

I didn't like that there was no air in the bedroom and it was very hot in the room. Other than that I loved it.
PS we had 1 noise maker that was upstairs walking very hard everyday .

Overpriced but at least the bed was comfortable!
Pros:

The room was big amd I liked that there was a couch and reclining chair to sit in.

Cons:

The sinks kept getting stopped up and the shower was either scolding hot or ice cold. The microwave didn't work so there was a big clunky one on the counter that took up all the space. There was nowhere to plug in the phones on the nightstands there was 1 plug on 1 nightstand and that was it we didnt wven have a phone in our room and the elevator was very slow.

I would not recommend anyone to stay
Pros:

The location was perfect, about a mile from the outlets,

Cons:

The Linen was nasty. Myself and my spouse was so uncomfortable with sleeping on the linen we had to go out and buy linen just to get a good night rest, That was so unfair to us especially after paying nearly $300 for one night. This was very disappointing

Do not recommend for vacation stay
Cons:

The 3rd floor smelt like a dead body. And this was an extended stay so people lived here. Not a great vacation stay.
