Not what I expected from the Brand - I expected more.
Pros:
Affordable price. Convenient location to the interstate. The front desk staff was very professional. The exterior of the building looked nice, as did the lobby and main stair. The complimentary hot breakfast was a nice touch. Nice light-block curtains in the bedroom. Comfortable pillows and bedspread. Great wi-fi reception.
Cons:
While returning to the hotel on our 2nd night during a heavy rain, the awning/drive up area was filled with cars that had no people in them. After having to unload packages, etc. in the rain and walk it in to the building, it was clear that the cars belonged to staff members and some friends of staff who were on smoking breaks and taking up the unload space in the front. The hallways and rooms had worn and buckling carpets. The upholstered furniture in the rooms was very warn and stained, and the sink and showed plumbing had low water pressure. The pull-out bed was so uncomfortable that I slept on the floor (the edge of the sofa pushed the mattress springs right across my back, and I am not very picky!) While we had a non-smoking room, the room smelled of smoke as did the hallway and common areas. The fridge first froze our fresh vegetables the first night, and then completely thawed and went warm the next day and our food was ruined. The spare blanket had a bug sealed in with the bag - which we would have easily overlooked had the property not otherwise been so shoddy. Noisy A/C unit that was not powerful enough to cool the front living area/pull0out sofa area. HBO did not work.
