Value for Money
10
Several reviewers noted the low price and explicitly said price was good or 'you get what you pay for.' Score is elevated to reflect perceived affordability despite quality problems.
Food and Beverage
4.2
Breakfast exists but is limited/poorly stocked (no milk, no coffee reported); food offering present but inadequate based on multiple comments.

Cons:

No coffee at breakfast bar, ice machine was in the office,so couldn't access it when office is locked. Trash all over the property, chair in my room looked stained, no way I'd sit on it. Comforter was covered in burn holes, so much so that they covered it with a sheet. Floors appeared to be water damaged and bowed.

Pros:

The breakfast , even though they didn't have milk.

Cons:

Everything else reeling everything else.The bathroom's like cigarette smoke.The bathtub is dirty.But you get what you pay for. And my boyfriend is wanting to know if he could be the handyman there because he could fix the place up better than it was before a lot better and it needs a lot of painting and new curtains and everything.

We didn't stay, we left. We went to another hotel.
Pros:

We did not stay at this hotel, it was disgusting. We felt very unsafe going into the room we were supposed to stay in and walked right back up to the clerk and requested a refund.

Cons:

The whole place was disgusting.
