I didn’t stay there, awful!,,
Cons:

I did not stay there, I didn’t feel safe! There was suppose to be breakfast and was told there isn’t any. The room was musty and the property seemed vacant. Then I was told I wasn’t charged and I contacted booking .com and they needed to get hold of the hotel and no one answered

Pros:

Nothing, we refused to stay there. Front desk guy said no refund and needs 24h notice for cancelation. I said I'm not canceling, I'm REFUSING the room for my family.

Cons:

The occupied rooms were like "party rooms" with drug dealer outside and working girls sitting on the stair wells, homeless guy scouting the parking lot from the back side of gas station in front of the hotel.

Disappointing
Pros:

I liked the location ok.

Cons:

The dirty floor that turned my feet black. Plus I was told I had to make a $100 deposit that I would get back, but I did not get it back.

Pros:

We liked the bebs.

Cons:

We didn't have a microwave. We didn't get an ice bucket. We didn't have hand towels. Free Continental breakfast was advertised, but we didn't get any. The refrigerator wasn't the greatest either. There was a 12 by 12 open maintenance hole in the bathroom.
