Disgusting accommodations
Pros:

The location was close to where I needed to go.

Cons:

The lobby was never opened, there is a sign telling you to use the night window no matter what time you arrive or check out. (Arrival was 7pm, check out 9:30 am) Our ceiling had a giant water damage area that had been patched, but the popcorn ceiling was peeling and sagging all around it. The hallways and stairs were filthy and smelled like meth, smoke, bad weed, and cat urine, the room smelled less but was still gross. There were splatters and stains everywhere, the carpets were sticky and the decorative blanket on the foot of the bed obviously had not been changed out in a while. The elevator had literal zip ties keeping parts in place and made awful grounding noises as it rose the one time we dared try it. There was no breakfast, not that I would have trusted anything perishable or cooked in house at this hotel. Based on the lack of hygiene everywhere else I would have skipped eating anything made or kept in their kitchen. Our fridge didn't work, the remote for the TV required you to stand with your arm raised at the right angle to work the tv. There were bags of trash piled around the carport when we arrived that were still there when we left and we saw 3 used condoms littering the walkway between the parking lot and our room. I knew it wouldn't be great based on the price but it was genuinely disgusting.
