Not going back
Pros:

Beds were comfortable, price was low, not much else to note on the positive side.

Cons:

Overall a rundown motel, stains in our room, especially a weird dripping door stop, a cockroach in the stairwell. The pool was filthy with food scraps and cloudy water; no pool towels were present.

Alles in allem i.O.
Pros:

Frühstück typisch amerikanisch und täglich gleich, könnte etwas abwechslungsreicher sein. Personal freundlich trotz meiner späten Ankunft (23:30 Uhr). Zimmer und Bad sauber. Würde ich wieder buchen.

Cons:

Frühstück könnte abwechslungsreicher sein....

I would not stay here again. It would be worth spending 40-50 more.
Pros:

There was an available room when I asked to switch rooms. And there was a breakfast. And the location was good.

Cons:

The staff was out smoking in front of hotel upon arrival. The security door bar was broken, I switched rooms. There was trash littering the entryways. The maintenance done in the room was not great. Remote control casing taped backed together with scotch tape, and wall patches not properly done. The cleaning seemed okay at first, but there was what I’m assuming to be fecal matter splattered on the wall behind the toilet and the bedding smelled like cheap cologne. The hot tub was too hot to sit in. We booked this hotel for a hot tub with affordability. The pool was not used by us as there was a women yelling and cussing in the pool area. The breakfast was okay. There was a kind employee that was doing her best to work the front and the breakfast at the same time. Food was obviously reheated, no bacon, or anything fresh.

My child and I did not feel comfortable and this location and it did not feel clean at all.
Pros:

Nothing, other than friendly kid at check in.

Cons:

A lot of things-
-The parking lot did not have much light, for the location of the hotel. 🙁
-Walking into the room felt like a freezer and it smelled like it had not been cleaned for awhile.
When we turned the air off to warm up, the stench that came from the unit stunk horribly. It was like it was burning or the filters have not been changed for a long time.🥶
- a bug ran out from under the bed and I had to step on it and kill it. Plus there was a dead bug laying in the closet area. 😡
- upon taking a shower noticing that the shower head was an inch and half away from the wall exposing the hole in the wall. It alone was a questionable sight. 🤔

Pros:

I like that there was a good selection in hot or cold breakfast

Cons:

I didnt like that it was my daughter's birthday and none of her friends could get in the pool with her ( they told me at the last minute that those who were not staying at the hotel could not get in and then I also had to pay to use the conference room for her party when they had already okayed us to use the dining stea beforehand ( when other hotels offer this for staying at their
hotel.
