Pros:

It was a very nice and clean place to stay. The breakfast was good too.

Cons:

I didn't know how to work the TV. It was a bit complicated for an older person to navigate. Fortunately, a staff person helped me out.

Pros:

Struttura pulita, stanze piuttosto ampie e letti molto comodi. Posizione comoda vicino all'autostrada. Colazione semplice ma apprezzata.

Cons:

Una delle famiglie ha trovato il bagno della camera molto sporco, probabilmente non era stato lavato dal soggiorno precedente. Lo staff è stato gentile ma essendo arrivati a tarda notte non sono riusciti a fornire una soluzione.

Pros:

Staff was incredibly kind and considerate. Truly some of the best employees I’ve interacted with. Breakfast was tasty and fresh.

It wasn’t the cleanest, but it wasn’t dirty and I appreciated that there were lots of nonporous surfaces.

Pros:

The staff was terrific. Very friendly and helpful.

The air conditioner works. There was hot water. But I'm struggling to find more positive things to say.

Cons:

The cheapest furniture I've seen in a 5700 mile drive across America. What is it?... particle board with some kind of laminate glued over it and the thinnest foam cushions that didn't even fit the boxes that I've ever seen. I'm not sure even if this was supposed to be a seating area or what. tiny refrigerator with no freezer, no microwave. Very weird smell of cleaning fluid throughout the hotel hallways and the room.

Pros:

Clean. Close to the airport.

Cons:

Stayed at Avid in Ft. Lauderdale with a large breakfast area with many options. Anticipated the same since it was another Avid. It was very sparse comparatively. Disappointing.
