If you like being terrified but close to gambling....
Pros:

Nothing.

Cons:

The blood on my sheets, the elevator that didnt work. The door that barley locked or the window that had the screen popping out. The place and furniture were disgusting and coated in some liquid. And the room was so small i couldnt walk in it without turning sideways.

Dirty. Stay somewhere else.
Pros:

The front desk staff were friendly and helpful but the room was dirty and needed repairs. There was a 2” gap under the entry door that let all of the sound from the street and parking lot into the room. The bathroom door does not close. The bed sheets had a red stain that I didn’t notice until late so I slept on top of the covers. I would not stay here again. If my stay hadn’t been for only one night, I would have moved to a new hotel.

Bad
Pros:

Location

Cons:

The beds were clean Bedroom area nicely updated and sink. But the bathroom was bad. No drain cover looks like it was painted by a 8 year old child or a blind person
Floor and baseboard tiles were not cut to match others paint dripped on tiles not cleaned up. Baseboard tile didn’t even match Dirt caked in corners. No one even came by to see if needed anything. Had to find a trash can to empty room trash. Breakfast was a
Granola bar

Make sure the room is clean. Check-in at the Travelodge. Keep the drug addicts out.
Pros:

Somewhere to sleep. The person at the check-in desk was at the Travelodge location and she was nice.

Cons:

Cleanliness and everyone hanging around outside. We even had some ask us if we smoked drugs. We could only use one bed cause hair wad everywhere. Couldn't take a shower because of the hair in the shower.
