Pros (+) Overall okay.
Cons (-) The super bright parking lot light flickered on and off like a strobe light. We had to cover our windows with towels and blankets in order to sleep.
Pros (+) Clean room, friendly staff.
Cons (-) Not many breakfast options
Pros (+) Clean comfortable near great shops and restaurants. Staff kept the hotel clean and breakfast area spotless.
Cons (-) Furniture needed updating.
Pros (+) It was partially clean..
Cons (-) You could still feel like sand inside the bed. Cheap furniture, staff not very friendly, the tv remote didn't work. The carpet on the floor felt very dirty too. Breakfast was the typical small, cheap hotel food (waffles, some bread, coffee, cereal and orange juice, NO protein whatsoever) I'm happy we just stayed one night, it would've sucked to stay longer.
