First off, let's start by saying that this is a budget hotel. It sounds like many people expect this to be a Comfort Suites or something.
We found a great deal on Orbitz and stayed there for the 4th of July weekend with our little dog. We were immediately pleased to see that the property looked maintained and clean, albeit sparse. The lobby was clean, the staff was very friendly and helpful and our room was ready an hour before checkin.
We were also surprised by the room. (room 201) Being budget travelers, we actually travel with our own pillows and sheets due to the crappy hotels in that price range. Here, we actually didn't need them. The linens were bleached pure white - no stains, the room was clean, the bathroom was clean, no bugs, no weird smells. The A/C worked GREAT. We could have had icicles hanging from the ceiling if we wanted. The non-stinky fridge was a nice touch and the freezer worked with no messy dripping.
We did take a dip in the pool, which was clean and a decent size. One end was actually 6 ft - a nice surprise from most 4ft hotel pools. The chairs and loungers were clean, as well as the surrounding pool area.
The breakfast wasn't exactly "hot", but the receptionist kept it stocked for us. If they were out of anything she readily put more out. The breakfast consisted of some standard cereal, coffee, juice, muffins, toast and a variety of frozen breakfast items - egg patties, sausage patties, biscuits, etc... and a steamy hot pot of gravy for the biscuits. We had to nuke our items in the microwave, but let me tell you - for a budget hotel I preferred this over questioning the sanitation of some hidden kitchen.
The night staff was very helpful with directions and the surrounding area was a great location for food and drinks. There's a mall across the street with a plethora of restaurants, fast food, and bars.
So the cons - well, they weren't so much cons as they were exactly what we expected for staying at a budget hotel. Yes, the carpet in the room was old (but at least it was vacuumed). Yes, there were some interesting travellers there (but aren't there always for $60 a night?). Yes, the drink machine and washer and dryer were questionable (but that's the way it usually is).
Aside from the little things, we were pleasantly surprised and would stay at that place again.
