Better than Sydney Motel, NOT!!!
Pros:

The location was fine. Quiet but for the price?

Cons:

No coffee maker in the room, or the lobby. Nothing for continental breakfast. Even though it shows pictures of it in the booking photos. The shower had hair from the previous guest, on the walls. Air conditioner would shut off and we would have to reset it constantly. The hallway to the room had a godawful smell. I can't even describe it. The hallway was HOT all the time. The carpet in the stairways was dirty. For the kind of money, it was a disaster. Plus, the floors had a film on them. That made it very slick.

It was a nightmare
Pros:

I didn’t like anything

Cons:

They refused to honor my booking reservation from booking.com because the front desk agent did not have an email. She called the owner and he told me it was my fault for using booking.com- it was the last of my money and I had booked 7 days. I had to sleep in my car while I waited for my refund!

Pros:

The check in staff was great! Wish they had more information on restaurants in the area.

Cons:

The room was not very clean. There was all kinds of stuff on the floor especially by the window. When he was on the bathroom he stepped on something in his socked feet - turns out it was an earring. I usually base my tip on the arrival to the room - he does not.

We found our stay to be barely acceptable. We had a poor nights sleep and would never return.
Pros:

It's proximity to where I was traveling to.

Cons:

It felt like lipstick on a pig. A little fresh paint and flooring did not cover up what felt like a pretty tired hotel. The bed was made of cheap metal and creaked every time you moved. There was no shampoo in the shower, no water, the TV did not work properly. The room was not decorated in any way. Hard surface floors. When I checked in, it took almost 15 minutes to get someones attention ringing bell, calling their phone, and texting. We will not be back.

WORST HOTEL EXPERIENCE
Pros:

WORST experience I’ve ever had at a hotel. Deadbolt did not lock. Light fixture missing cover. Sink cracked. Room stunk like wet dog, cigarette, weed. Sheets smelled like body odor. Floor was sticky. Hallway stunk like an old ashtray, weed and mildew or mold. There was no breakfast and just a coffee machine with no supplies. Majority of the people there looked like they lived there. The cost was JACKED way up because of events in the area that weekend. Contacted guest relations and they did give a SMALL refund of maybe 10%. Absolutely not acceptable.

Pros:

White towels had brown stains on them. It would have been nice to have clean towels on our second morning but no such luck. The light switch didn’t work, but i was able to turn on the light with the base. The ice machine worked on Friday night but not on Saturday. The rooms were dirty, looked like someone either had blood on their hands or hair dye on the door frame in the bathroom, the “smell” was extremely over powering and like it was trying to cover something up. The bed “frame” was a metal platform that creaked and clanked when moving on it. The cleaning staff on Saturday morning were VERY loud. The 3 times i went to the desk, I only saw one person. I picked this motel for location and i knew it wasn’t going to be 5 stars, but it really was a dump.

Ok place to sleep
Pros:

Parking lot was ok, place smelled like it had water damage, the room looked clean, but then I noticed stains on the ceiling and on the walls in the bathroom. The shower was very powerful and the staff were nice.
