Pros (+) Price was reasonable.
Cons (-) Old facility. Not really renovated. Our first room was right above the conference room, where they were playing audio very loud. It was decent room, but old a bit musty smelling. After a couple of complaints they moved us to another room that was older and mustier. Cracks in the sinks. Bad paint. Small. We won't return
Pros (+) Quiet
Cons (-) I need a receipt for this expense
Pros (+) Clean, modern, spacious room with two queen beds. Nice updated bathroom. Located in an area of town with plenty of choices for eating out.
