8/10 Good
"These properties are old and tired. Door knob on the bedroom did not work so when it is closed you can't get out, luckily you can escape through the bathroom. This hotel does not provide mini shampoos or starter coffee for a cup in the morning; you'll have to bring all of that yourself which is not too convenient if you are just spending the night. I think this place is intended for longer stays. They also apply some pressure to take a tour of the new properties they are building there (Resort Timeshare Sales I believe). All in all, not too bad but not great (Fair to Middling)..."

The beds and pillows were a bit uncomfortable for my standards, but I could have chosen another hotel brand if I wanted better.
