The worst experience I ever had
Pros:

Nothing

Cons:

When you arrive it look like a homeless camp. There was homeless camping in the parking lot. It look really scary. When you enter the lobby is smells really bad, the carpet is disgusting, it smells like cigarettes, Marijuana, like dirty, old and disgusting carpet. When you enter the room the chair they have There is looks like its been there for years and never clean ones, the other chair look like they took it out from a garbage bin. The fire alarm was wrap with plastic and the selling had water stains. The pool has garbage with no water. There was people having a barbecue in there room. It was the worst experience I had. I am telling you Motel 6 is 10star Motel compared to this one. Please don't stay there its dangerous and disgusting.

Pros:

Nothing, don't believe pictures unless you see it yourself.

Cons:

First and foremost, there was bullets holes in a window. But I guess it was good that it was bullet proof window. The front desk lady gave me a map to go look for the room. Seems very easy, went to two different buildings while carrying our luggages and 4 small children. No working elevator.
