A later check out would be nice.

Pros: The bed was very comfortable. The cleaning staff were amazingly friendly and wonderful.
Cons: There was no tub in the room. Parking was an extra $15, which is ridiculous when u pay for a hotel room you expect parking to be included. The breakfast ran out and there was no one paying attention so it took over a half hour to refill the bacon and sausage. The fridge in the room was frozen over and had no space in it. My debit card was charged $38 on TOP of the $15 parking fee at check out and this was held for DAYS after I checked out before it was refunded.

Pros: Very neat. Sharp looking room. Very good breakfast.
Cons: Went at night and drive right by the side street that takes you to hotel parking lot. Very confusing getting to the hotel and around it. Dingy neighborhood.

Pros: Breakfast had a variety of healthy choices. Comfortable bed. Nice service.

We told front desk the smelly condition of our bedroom and we were told it would be properly cleaned the next day. Next day came and we found left over crumbs in the carpet, and we didn’t eat in our bedroom. We won’t use this hotel anymore. The only smile we saw at the front desk was the one in the wallpaper.

Pros: Beds were comfortable, private balcony was nice, I liked that there were sinks both in the bathroom and outside the bathroom.
Cons: took us a long time to figure out where the entrance was, thanks to the Panera bread being where the front of a hotel would normally be, and it was very late, (we were stuck on the highway a very long time thanks to a major car accident in front of us), so the Panera bread was closed so we couldn't ask them. Staff was efficient, but not friendly, rooms were cheaply renovated (painted over popcorn ceilings).

8.0 Excellent
Pros: Location Dingy carpeting hopefully not as dirty as it appeared.
Cons:
7.5 Good
Pros: Everything was ok, not more, not less.
Cons: Laundry was a point to choose this hotel, but there was no soap, so I needed to go and by soap, then first the machine didn't run, but I got it. Microwave was for rent (10$ per night), for the prise of the hotel I expect Microwave on the room as other hotel do it - at least to rent the micowave without to pay or one time 10$. To be fair: I knew before, that there was no Mircowave. The same I could say for breakfast. The hotel gave me the feeling, I had to pay for any extra. Again, I got all what was discribed but the Laundry.

Cons:
10.0 Excellent

6.8 Good
Pros: Location and cleaniness
Cons: They over booked our room and we were forced to pay extra for the same room we booked, they told me the charge would be removed but it wasn't. We had to pay for parking, their parking was full. Our stay included breakfast but not for all our guests, we paid $20.00 for a poor Buffett with empty serving dishes. We ended up eating somewhere else, I would not stay there again because I feel they were not honest and did not honor my reservation I made.
8.3 Excellent

10.0 Excellent
Pros: Location, location, location! The shuttle service. The staff were very kind even the housekeeping staff. The front desk person was helpful, but overwhelmed working alone.
Cons:
5.5 Okay
Pros: Location
Cons: Not clean, never received a 4th towel or toilet paper after physically going to front desk since no one answered the phone
9.3 Excellent

Cons:
8.0 Excellent
Pros: Location
Cons: The curtains did not close so the room was bright at night. The bed was very firm ( some may like that, but we did not). Also thought $22 to park was a little too expensive.
