Pros (+) Comfy beds, nice big bathrooms, great location! Staff was genuinely pleasant and very helpful.
Cons (-) Not a thing!
Pros (+) It is centrally located in the downtown area. The staff are friendly and gave us all the good recommendations where to go shop, eat and local events.
Cons (-) Needs some updating in the interior designing with those huge furniture occupied most the tiny space. The bathroom sink have that foul smell when you turn the faucets. There is no security cameras especially when you are close to a public parking lot.
Pros (+) Price was right for the amenities offered.
Cons (-) The wifi could have been more reliable. It was either not available at all or slower than dial-up 25 years ago. In this day and age, nobody can afford to go on vacation without being at least somewhat connected.
Pros (+) the room was very clean. the price was very reasonable. the room had a microwave and small refrigerator that added to its convenience.
Cons (-) there were obviously former leaks in the ceiling and the room was very old. it could have used a face lift. the complimentary breakfast consisted of an apple, cereal, very limited pastries, and coffee. they could have expanded it a little bit. no toast, no banana, no waffle.the staff was not rude but cold and brickly.
