AVOID THIS LOCATIN AT ALL COSTS. SPEND MORE MONEY AND RENT ELSWHERE THAT IS SAFE.
Pros:

I liked most, when it was time to leave in the morning. Location did not feel safe at all.

Cons:

Building is old and out of date. Pictures on here do not reflect how it really looks. Bed sheets literally had old ink writing that said "Blood". There was hair on the sheets by the headboard. The restroom was nasty. No towels, or toiletries. See pics below.

Pros:

The price was the only thing I liked.

Cons:

Place was not clean. Dirt through out the corners where no one Mopped. The walls need to be painted. They were dirty. Bathroom walls were dirty. Looks like they were still renovating. Curtain needed to be washed or changed out.
Was not satisfied. I had to clean myself. Microwave had to clean.
Air / and heating system dirty.
I would never put anyone in that room. Didn't want confrontation so I just cleaned myself. I left early because I was uncomfortable. Picture showed kitchen wasn't there.

Horrible stay

Convient location near so many restaurants stores & gas stations

Cons:

The beds are hard toilet wasn't working properly and my room had 1 drying towel & when I called front desk to mention the 1 towel & there's 2 people in the room I was told I had to come & get them. My question is why they weren't in the room in the first place 🤔

It was a great price and it was very convenient to all the places we needed to be.
