Terrible, completely outdated, pictures don’t show true story
Cons:

No sign anywhere for the hotel, front rooms under renovation and looked deserted so thought it was closed. Outside completely outdated, unsavory people hanging around outside. Extremely worse condition than the photos showed.

Nice staff
Pros:

Service was great. Staff helpful and responded quickly to concerns. Signage for hotel was poor, and it was located next to an empty lot with barricades, so hard to access entrance.

Decent Overnight Option, Convenient Location
Pros:

Stayed here one night on the way to another destination. Nothing fancy but everything worked quite well including the HVAC, mini fridge, and microwave. Pretty good value overall. The pool is small but a nice amenity for a motor lodge. Friendly staff and very convenient to lots of shopping and restaurants. Also many close by Door Dash options as well.

Good stay.
Pros:

In the middle of re branding to Quality Inn. Hotel is old but very clean. Beds were comfortable and staff was very friendly. As of now, breakfast is grab and go but was told they are working on full breakfast. Has a pool. Is a bit awkward to get to hotel.

Pros:

It was close to the interstate.

Cons:

It was difficult to get to the hotel as a lot of businesses are closed and roads are blocked. The entrance was down a closed road and a tight entry into the parking lot. There is no large sign and the hotel is being remodeled. More than half the rooms were roped off and construction was being done on the roof. I was one of 3 vehicles for the entire hotel. I was traveling by myself and was completely uncomfortable. The room was partially remodeled. New flooring and paint. Lighting was poor. The vent in the bathroom was horribly loud and obnoxious. I didn't shower in the morning. I left the light on overnight and blocked the door with chairs in case someone broke in. I do not recommend this hotel to anyone.

Would stay again
Pros:

The room was clean. They gave me a first floor room as I was traveling with my pet, all the staff that I encountered was gracious and overly sweet.

Cons:

The ice machine on the first floor wasn't working but that was it

Sketchy feeling of criminal activity.
Pros:

Convenient location to UA, sheets seemed clean.

Cons:

The front door seemed like it had been broken into at some point and it was patched up with putty and plaster material. Gave us a very creepy feeling of security and the sketchy clientele/environment. The TV did not work. The room and bathroom was very dingy and out dated.

It was some place to stay, but if I’m ever in town again I will not be staying here.
Pros:

The beds were comfortable and the staff was nice.

Cons:

The room was almost $400/night for terrible water pressure, there was an odd smell in the room when we first arrived, majority of the TV stations didn’t work, and the air kept cutting off despite it being on continuous and not auto.
