Not worth the money. False advertising.
Pros:

The AC worked! And the bed was comfortable.

Cons:

The room was dirty. It did not look like the floors in the room had been swept or mopped for weeks. Dead bugs on the floor.
The towels in the room has brown streaks on them.
I chose the hotel as well for continental breakfast. Which this location DOES NOT have.

In other words, I felt like I was catfished by the website.
Pros:

The location was close to the venue. The staff was friendly.

Cons:

The pictures online are not accurate of what the rooms and pool are like in person. There were two large holes in the wall, the safe was broken and the keypad was hanging off, the bathroom door didn’t shut and profanity was written on it, the pool was not in working order and wasn’t even close to what was posted online. Literally posted a picture of a different pool!

Cons:

It was nasty and disgusting. There were dead bugs on the floor beer caps still on the floor. Food stuck to the floor. Drug paraphernalia all over outside. We did not stay there they did not issue a refund. Worst experience I've ever had.

Highly disappointed in my stay.
Pros:

Not much to like was very convenient after the concert hit McDonald’s after concert and went back to the hotel.

Cons:

It was a little dirty. they make you sign a paper that says this facility is 100% smoke free but right in the lobby there were cigarette ashes and strong smell of cigarettes. I booked to get a kings suite room. They instead gave me a double bed. We had friends in a couple rooms down found a cigarette carton on the bible just empty.

This motel made me wish I slept in the car and saved my money… it was so bad.
Pros:

Was gross. Toilet didn’t work. No hot water. Rude staff. Was not ADA accessible. I was insulted by property management regarding my disability.

Cons:

It looks run down on the outside. Pool was closed despite website advertising pool. The toilet did not flush. We had no hot water. The shower was not clean. There were hairs in the bathroom. It appeared to be unsanitary. Dirt on the bed. Floor was sticky and dirty. Loud traffic. Rude staff. Should’ve slept in the car.

Never going back
Cons:

First room we were sent to was destroyed and half of it didn't have electricity. The front desk sent us to another room afterward that had no lamps, no phone, and running water in the toilet in the bathroom. We chose to just sleep in the first room, documenting the damage that the prior travelers had left.
