Not so good...
Pros:

Beds were hard, but the staff was nice. There is an underground parking area we used to park our motorcycles, which apparently several other people knew about that were traveling on motorcycles.. several bikes were parked with ours in a locked area below the hotel.

Cons:

The location is a little rough, its very close to a bar that was overrun with homeless people that were more than willing to try and talk to us. The hotel is really old with narrow hallways, rooms were clean, but needed to be updated. The electrical sockets in our room were worn and and plug in items would fall out of the plug. There was a large crack in the ceiling drywall. The bathroom was in horrible condition with grout lines filled with silicone and cracked tiles on the floor. Probably wouldnt stay there again.

Horrible and disgusting, never again
Pros:

Nothing, the place was a dump, not at all as advertised on booking.com. Shower would be so hot/then cold, bathroom taps didn't work properly. One plug to use for microwave, fan, coffee pot, of which had to be placed on floor to use, cord too short. Extension cords snakes around the room, filthy walls. Front doors packing taped together and entire place reeked of cigarettes.

Cons:

Read all reviews before booking this place, all negatives were buried, at $200/night one would expect a higher level. It will be a long time before we use booking.com again if this is the type of place they endorse!!

Scary and disgusting!
Pros:

Nothing, well, my car didn’t get broken into.

Cons:

Bar off the lobby, bar off the parking lot and next door to it. Lots of people hanging around. Hallway floor was filthy. I could hear a man talking to his dog outside my window. We could hear people going in and out of there rooms in the hallway. I got up multiple times to look out my window to check on my car.
