All in all, you get what you pay for, but this stay was decent.
Pros:

The interiors of the rooms were pretty nice, newly renovated. The beds had soft sheets, there were nice lighting options. Very good black out curtains, which was very comforting on the first floor. AC worked great. Security cameras (hopefully working) right outside rooms. The gentleman working when we checked out was very kind! Price.

Cons:

Staff when checking in wasn't exactly rude, but definitely very unfriendly. AC was off when we entered the room, so it was VERY hot (Cooled off quick though). There was no fire alarm and wires were sticking out of the wall. There were black out curtains, but nothing else. So you either had to have the window completely blacked out or completely open, nothing in between to have natural light and some privacy. A minor detail, I know. Nothing the motel can control, but other guests were quite noisy throughout the night. I had people knocking on my door at nearly 11pm. Didn't feel like the safest stay, but at no fault of the motel itself.

It was ok
Pros:

The bed was super comfy..the t v. And cable were great..mini fridge. Microwave

Cons:

The shower wouldn't turn on. The mgr explained how to use the odd spout. They could told me that from the get go. I ended up taking a tub bath. Small roaches .I let the mgr know. Shady people coming in and out. They need to restrict the clientele. Outbound buses 12 min walk. Inbound bus none. Had to take ubers

Terrible.
Pros:

Nothing

Cons:

The photos looked nothing like the actual hotel. As in, the color of the roof wasn’t even the same. The pictures made it look like a cute little inn in a nice area. However, when we arrived, the doors looked beaten in, the room looked like it had bed bugs, and the area made me feel afraid to leave the room. I immediately booked another hotel at an exorbitant price because I was too afraid to stay here. On top of all of that, the hotel charged me a $20 early check in fee (which they never mentioned upon check-in) on top of the cancellation fee, despite the fact that I was there for all of 5 minutes. They told me they at least reversed the $20, but that was a lie.

Нормально
Pros:

В комнате есть всё необходимое

Цена

Администратор работает 24 часа

Cons:

Местоположение относительно центра и аеропорта хорошее, но от автобусных остановок далеко

Проживал в номере не с фото.

Очень низкая душевая, для людей ростом 160 см.

Неудобный идиотский душ, работающий некорректно и непонятно, приходится звать администратора, чтоб объяснил, который потом неприятно смотрит недобрыми глазами.

Один из администраторов неприветливый.

Мотель рядом с трассой, ночью даже через окно частично слышно шум, чувствительным будет неприятно.

Бассейн полностью закрыт, так как он на улице и уже прохладно.

Территория не закрытая

It was fine once we got into the room. Thank goodness we were only there to sleep.
Pros:

The room was good a the beds were comfy.

Cons:

The location was super sketchy. We got to the room at 1230am and the next night at 1030 and there were questionable people hanging out in the parking lot drinking (throwing beer bottles over the fence) and in their cars. They just watched us walk to our room so it was just super uncomfortable.

Pros:

The beds were alright.

Cons:

Protistution going on. Random people in the parking lot at all hours of the night.Room was not very clean. Wall in bathroom was falling apart. Over all just felt dirty and couldn't wait to get home to shower. Also the price was ridiculous for a cheap motel.
