It seems like a place with a whole bunch of weed smokers.
Pros:

I am RVing in the area, the only reason of using the motel was to have access to the bathroom for a comfortable shower comparing to using the RV bathroom.

The room has strong weed smell, I made request of room change, the new assigned room is a bit less weed smoking smell, but the hall way has strong weed smoking odor.

I slept in my own RV, so I have no comment on the cleanness of the room.

The outdoor staircase are slippery, I try to hold on to the hand rail, only to discover that the hand rail doesn't look clean at all.

Cons:

the weed smoking smell, rough staircase, dirty hand rail.

Decent accommodation for the price.
Pros:

It was one Exit from my early destination the next morning.

Cons:

Needs work, proper upgrades, repairs. Also cleaning properly. (Hair was in tub) Musty odor and could tell someone smoked in or by open room door. (I am allergic)

Bad
Pros:

This property should not even be allowed on booking.com I am seriously looking into who to contact to have this place looked at. I can’t believe a hotel is allowed to be advertised in the condition. The floors were dirty and sticky, stained sheets, broken AC unit the windows in the room you couldn’t even look out they were so dirty! My son and I were so scared we shared a bed barricaded the door and used nothing and set our alarm and got out of there at 6am when we checked in later than 11pm. A complete disaster and disappointment! Spend 147$ A total loss!

It may look a little rough but it’s decent enough to lay your head down for the night.
Pros:

It was conveniently close to everything we needed. It looked a little sketchy but it wasn’t the worst place I’ve stayed in. The front desk clerk was nice.

Cons:

Our bathroom wall behind the toilet was made out of a screen door. The remote only worked for 4 channels. The a/c wasn’t as cold as it should have been.

Avoid!
Pros:

The desk clerk was pleasant in her disheveled office.

Cons:

This is apparently a welfare hotel in a rundown part of town. Many of the guests were residents. As soon as we entered the parking lot we came upon numerous youngsters riding bicycles and lots of loosers hanging out smoking their cigarettes. Our room was clean but dingy. The bath towels were not much bigger than a dish cloth. Did not feel safe or comfortable in this place. Room was overpriced..
