OK for one night.
Pros:

The check-in personnel and the location as we needed a place close to the airport. The shuttle service is a bonus.

Cons:

One of our daughters had to change her room twice as the bathrooms were not clean. The aircondition system was too noisy and coming on and off during the night.

It was O.K. As far as the room amenities (fridge, microwave and working desk).
Pros:

There was no breakfast, or at least when I checked in they never mentioned anything about breakfast or vending machine opportunities

Cons:

The tub faucet dripped all night long in room 310, making it hard to fall asleep.

Cons:

The first room 3rd floor got off the elevator and the smell of cat urine and animal almost made me vomit. Got into the room and thought it might be ok because it smelled more like a room deodorizer than the actual stink of animals in their excrement. But after 10 minutes in the room, I couldn’t take it. It was disgusting and I knew everything I brought into the room would also smell. The front desk woman Amanda was wonderful. She switched me to a room on the first floor. That room was across from a stairwell that stairwell door smashed every five minutes all night, long opening and closing, the walls were paperthin. The people in the room beside me stayed up yelling till until 1am. I had an early flight and perhaps slept for 1 hour. I brought a bathing suit because I knew they had what looked in the pictures like a nice outdoor pool. There was one chair by the pool and the pool was so cloudy and green and swampy looking. You couldn’t see down to the second step where you would get in. So that didn’t happen either. I wore my white socks and never took them on my feet in the room and the next morning when I change them, the bottoms were brown. I asked for the airport shuttle to pick me up at 5:15 at 5:20 the girl from the front desk was placing a call to the best Weston, which is where the drive was they share a van I got picked up at 5:25. The shuttle when I arrived back and needed to go back to the hotel was efficient and fast.

Plenty of hotels in the area would choose somewhere else next time.
Pros:

In a good location to be able to travel. Free laundry room. Overall decent location.

Cons:

The room had a really bad smell, the shower had mold around the edge and the bottom had a bad patch job. Air conditioner did not work great and the ice maker didn’t work.

quick and disappointing and way too expensive
Pros:

Location was close to the airport.

Cons:

The quality of the room was very poor. Things had been taken off the walls, paint was missing, a queen bed was where a king used to be (I paid for a king) and only one side had a night stand. There were no modern USB ports for charging, the bathroom had a slippery film on the floor and the room smelled bad.

Ladonna was nice but would not recommend. There are cheaper place
Pros:

Ladonna was amazing so helpful she was there Friday and Monday.

Cons:

Pillow cases and kitchen towel was stained. Stove eyes did not work. No smart tvs. I was woken up Saturday and Sunday night from people above me partying. I called main office after midnight and receptionist was rude.
You had to chase down housekeeping just to get them to take out the trash
