Pros (+) Great location. Staff was friendly and very helpful. Breakfast was good, little crowded at some times but not hotels fault.
Cons (-) Heater in friends room was old so it smelled when you turned the heat up. May need to replace it.
Pros (+) Nothing, I can't imagine a worst hotel room.
Cons (-) Non-Smoking room that smelt like people were smoking in it the day before. Matress had springs coming out of it. It was loud all night. The fridge was pulled out of the cabnet to place a microwave on top that clearly had a cigarette burn through the top. Bathroom was wet when we got there and had plaster falling from the ceiling when we showered.
Pros (+) Location
Pros (+) Location
Cons (-) Bugs in room, duct tape in shower, wash cloths plugging holes in ceiling tiles, staff not friendly or efficient, ice maker not working, no parking due to concert being held in parking lot.
Pros (+) The staff was very friendly, the rooms were great and the location was great also.
Pros (+) I like the convenience of everything near by.
Cons (-) I didn't like, that a i wasn't able to have internet in the room.
Pros (+) I liked that the room was ready earlier than stated. It was quiet during the night and we slept well. I was surprised that they were full to capacity most of our days but still very quiet. For the money, I will book here again. No problems at all.
Cons (-) The only thing that we experienced was the free wi-fi was not good. We only got a signal one night. That is usually not a problem but still had some work-related business to check on during the week and could not get a connection.
Pros (+) Location was great have stayed here 2 other times and was great then.
Cons (-) Checked in went to room and it hadn't even been cleaned. Then the next day they took all the towels and they never cleaned the room that day nor brought back any towels had to go and get our on towels.
Pros (+) Every one at the front desk was nice and polite
Cons (-) After reading some of the reviews thought it was going to be a bad place, ask the front desk if we could see the rooms before we checked in. They gave us the room keys and allowed us to check the rooms out, everything was in good shape.
