Clean, but Breakfast SUCKED.
Pros:

Best part was that it was clean!!! No bugs!

Cons:

It said breakfast was included. Their juice dispenser was broken and there was only a small frig in the corner that had yogurt and those stale biscuits with sausage. Was very disappointed with this because we decided to stay there and pay more than a different location because of the option for breakfast.
The AC would only work 50% of the time.
The shower head was broken.
The door lock was also broken so that made us feel unease. Always bring your own hotel door locks when traveling.
The stairs are rusting out so watch your step

Friendly staff, great price, awesome location, cozy and quiet and would recommend to others.
Pros:

The staff there is extremely friendly. I have interacted with staff on every shift and they all make you feel right at home and are there to help with anything you need for your room. I have never had any issues and check in and check out has always been fast.

Cons:

I have never had any issues with staying here so no complaints here! Everyone makes you feel right at home. I have stayed here several times and would recommend to anyone needing a cozy place to stay for a good price.

Very disappointing stay – poor hygiene and comfort.
Cons:

The cleanliness of the room was unacceptable. The air conditioning was extremely inefficient, making the room hot and uncomfortable. To make matters worse, there were insects inside the room. I definitely do not recommend this place.
