I survived
Pros:

Staff was friendly, like that they had parking lot security on watch.

Cons:

Hallway smelled like marijuana and urine, room stunk of cigarettes and I asked for a non-smoking room, constant loud bass music playing from room over, homeless constantly scouting around facility, security doors in back building are broken and useless, no screen doors on patio sliding doors to keep out flying insects, most tv stations did not work, room looked as if it hasn’t been clean in a while, most amenities were down due to COVID-19 prevention.

Fit for a homeless man not for a family adventure.
Pros:

Staff were friendly, love that they had parking lot security. I like how there was no pesky mini fridge, microwave, iron, coffee maker, complimentary shower accessories or blow dryer in my way.

Cons:

First thing I noticed was blood stains around vanity mirror, stains on ceiling, bed was damaged, dips in the middle, floors did not look mopped, dust and cob webs in corners of the room, no privacy curtain option to add light with privacy. Either everyone sees your business or you lay in the dark, restrooms look more stitched up then Frankenstein, and I was welcomed by a big ol German cockroach on my towel in the restroom. You’re lucky I’m not picky when it comes to cheap. Definitely don’t stay in the back building.
