Pros (+) I like the central location and the face that they have dog friendly rooms. Also it was nice to have a microwave and fridge in the room
Cons (-) The ice machine was broken, the room smelled like mold, and the walls are thin, so we could hear the drunk couple above us laughing and arguing for several hours, so we didn't get much sleep
