Only come here for last resort. But know you’ll be sleeping with dirty sheets in a roach infested room. All of them are
Pros:

They provided raid for the roaches

Cons:

The roaches, dirty floors, dirty sheets, dirty counters, and food left in the fridge from previous people. And never got my $100 deposit back

For my short time, I enjoyed my stay --- but the cost of my one-night hotel stay curtailed me.
Pros:

The room was fine: clean and comfortable. I enjoyed swimming in the pool, too.
The morning breakfast was good -- but the coffee was not great.

Cons:

I was surprised at the overall cost of my Hotel Stay, I believed I was going to pay a total price of $100 or so; I was charged $ -- and had not been informed before booking of the $100 deposit. I don't think that was fair.

i would rather pay more and not experience a similar stay. Did not enjoy this stay, not again!
Pros:

location, price

Cons:

vending machine broken, ice machine looked as if it hadn't been cleaned in days! only one person working and there was a crowd if people checking in for a nearby concert (I can understand someone being overwhelmed by an unexpected workload but--Lighten Up! You have a job! Guy acted like lost his best friend! No friendliness at all--even later when there was no crowd!) Did not like leaving my room keys in an unsecured box sitting on top of counter!!!!! No staff in office at checkout!

Pros:

I liked that it was the cheapest and it was close to my concert.

Cons:

Everything needs to be replaced and updated. The headboards were scratched and stained. The hair dryer didn't even work because it was so old. Also the pillows felt like they were filled with cotton balls.
