Pros:

Polite check in person
He offered some great suggestions for food.
He was also funny... which is a very good thing

Cons:

Only issue... sounded like water running (not dripping) from the above floor, could only hear it in our bathroom... my daughter could hear it in her entire room.
Reported it to front desk the next morning

Pros:

Stores a mile from hotel.

Cons:

Humidity level had the walls, furniture, and floor sweating, which caused the bedding to smell like mildew. Pullout mattress had no sheets and was disgusting. Shower wall was filthy with possible boogers. Homeless hanging out near parking lot. Just extremely uncomfortable stay and would've rather slept in the car.
