A comfortable and accessible stay.
Pros:

I appreciated the comfortable environment the motel provided.

Cons:

I did not understand the purpose of putting down a deposit before accessing a motel room, and my specific motel room was not provided with hand sanitizer.

Awful. Do not stay here no matter how cheap it is.
Pros:

Close to the venue I went for

Cons:

Dirty room. Stained towel and bedding. Power kept tripping had to unplug fridge. Asked for new towels and they accused me of staining them. The shower stunk so bad as it was missing tiles and nasty water came up when stepping on it.

It’s a place to stay the night,
Pros:

It was close to where I had work and reasonable priced.

Cons:

The neighborhood is the issue. Drug addicts around & I encountered one using the stairwell. Avoided that situation again by only using open stairs at the other end of the building.
