Don't stay here. Whatever you do, avoid this place like the plague.
Pros:

The room was reasonably clean. The TV did work.

Cons:

What breakfast? There wasn't any that I"m aware of. The room itself was clean, but the shower curtain rod was hanging askew being held up literally by the tip of one screw. The toilet would NOT flush well, likely because the float was attached poorly with a zip-tie. Each use required 2-3 flushes, and we had to leave the top off the tank to finagle the float every single time to get the tank to fill - and it only filled half way. I contracted Norovirus while I was there, so the toilet thing was WAY more annoying that it would have normally been.

I was told "Your room might or might not have a TV, and if it does have a TV, it might or might not work." Hey, we got lucky - the TV did work. But there was no fridge. The hallway carpets were filthy, constant garbage throughout the hall, and the upper hallway constantly smelled of weed. Constantly. All day long.

Pros:

Nothing

Cons:

Cockroaches in room. Toilet doesn't flush right. TV NOT WORKING for the 4th time we've reserved a room here. Internet bad. Water coming through the floor by the bathroom. The sink has a towel wrapped around it, probably because the water is leaking. NEVER Wasting my time or money to stay here again

It was horrible and the drug smell made me dizzy.
Cons:

The hotel had a strong smell of drugs. There were roaches and bugs. It took a while for anyone to come to the desk for check in and check out. I didn't feel safe.
