Worth what you pay for.
Pros:

I liked that the room was mostly clean. For what you pay for, it definitely worth the value. It was also nice to be near the airport. Breakfast was simple but good.

Cons:

I found a used condom in the ice bucket, I was very disgusted. There needs to be a more thorough clean of the room. Additionally, the airflow was horrible and I woke up with a stuffy nose. The fridge kept my food cold but the divider that covers the freezer portion was broken and discarded at the bottom of the fridge. I don't really have any other complains otherwise.

Terrible. Will not stay here again or advised anyone else to.
Pros:

It was close to the airport.

Cons:

I was put into a room where the tv and air conditioner did not work. A guy had to come replace them the next day. Also, the lady at front desk was rude regarding ordering a shuttle. And the man who drove the shuttle was extremely rude to a family of four who were trying to get on the shuttle. I was going to tip him, but no one deserve to be talked to like that. He said there were nine spots on the shuttle, however it was 10 people in total trying to take the shuttle to the airport. The family of four said they would wait because they didnt want one out of their party left behind. He then began to yell at them, saying "are you going or not". He then allowed one person to sit in the front seat so we all can take the shuttle. The hotel wasn't that clean. The staff were rude, and I am still waiting on them to refund my refundable deposit to my credit card

Decent stay and a very decent price.
Pros:

The staff was professional and pleasant. They helped when there was an issue. When I had questions, they were there to answer.

Cons:

Nothing was wrong, except the extra $5 airport. That was not expected. But it is what it is.

Not a place for me
Pros:

It had a bed

Cons:

The walls are thin as paper hopefully, you're lucky enough not to have anyone on each side, because you'll hear every word they say. Especially if they're on the phone. Also, it smelled, tv did not have any channels & the tub/shower was a little skeptical too. .

Will not be returning
Pros:

The doorframe to the room was broken, so the door was permanently slightly ajar. I could hear every thing through the night and did not get an hour straight of sleep.

Cons:

Doorframe was broken, had to get staff to open the door for me because the broken doorframe woildnt let the key card unlock it, and the bathtub was cracking (somehow)
