Nasty
Pros:

This motel doesn't look like the pictures on hotel.com plus they had live wires hanging out of ceiling. Very nasty place needs to be removed from the app Hotels. Com got our money back and gave is a 25$ credit

Squalor
Pros:

Has seen its better days long gone past. If you don't mind the squalor and questionable security this could be the place for you to save some money. Needs a deep cleaning and paint. The guy sleeping in his wrecked car in the parking lot was friendly, hitting me up for money and cigarettes coming and going. I don't think I'll be staying here again.

This place is a danger and should not be listed.
Pros:

This place shouldn't be advertised on any platform. It's dirty, smells horrible, and is full of dirty, dangerous-looking homeless people. I decided not to stay and I'm asking for my money back because it's a scam!

Completely run down
Pros:

Rock hard beds, flat pillows, discoloured sheets and towels, burn marks in the carpet from stove top elements. Carpets are a bunch of mismatched chunks. Bathroom light fixture was falling down. No breakfast available, even though it was advertised (although I wouldn't have eaten there due to the level of care and cleanliness). Security guard was friendly. Front desk workers husband was friendly. Front desk worker seems like there was better things to do than to serve us.
This place has a lot of potential. It could be way better than it is. It would be nice to see things fixed up.

Confirm what your getting with the hotel
Pros:

Hotels. Com screwed up our reservation. I had to take the rooms available vs rooms requested and booked. The front desk did the best they could. The hotel needs some tlc, but for price I got what I expected.
