Pros:
From the outside, the hotel looks old and due to its location I assumed the hotel wasn't going to be very nice. I was pleasantly surprised by the spacious room and the nice, open lobby and bar area as well as outdoor tables and fire pit.
It was nice to have a hair dryer in the room as well as a little tub of shave cream, Q-tips, cotton squares, mouthwash along with the standard amenities of shampoo, conditioner, body lotion.
The hotel participates in the Starwood Preferred Group's 'Green for a Cause' program which allows you to get $5 or 500 SPG points per day you don't have housekeeping refresh your room. We participated in this program for two days which is great for us, and the environment.
The lobby is a comfortable place to check your email or do work with the free wifi. Sound carries a bit over the big lobby so headphones may be helpful in order to concentrate.
Cons:
There are some cosmetic repairs that could have been done in the room and hallway: touched up paint on the interior of the bathroom door; repainted the exterior of the room doors.
Can be a bit noisy depending on where your room is. Our room was on the west side of the building closest to the I-17 and the car traffic was loud even with the sliding glass door shut.
