Pros:

Location is convenient, staff was nice, parking is easy. Was there for a wedding weekend and the room had hangers for dresses/etc. The bathtub in our room needs to be replaced, had a soft spot in the bottom that seemed to have been patched over at some point, kinda dirty feeling. The room was super clean, but the bathroom shelves where the towels were kept were covered in dust bunnies. Everything other than the bathroom felt clean.
