The worst hotel ever
Cons:

I sat there for hours waiting for somebody after making a reservation to come to the desk to even check in and even then they failed to tell me that I had to put up deposit down they fail to let me know that they weren't going to show up until a certain time and every time I turned around the price went up so I ultimately ended up not staying I seen the room though very disgusting. I would not recommend.

Pros:

The vehicle entry has large potholes. The room doors had non functioning door handle locks and only loose dead bolts. The rooms were dingy and in need of cleaning and painting, the carpets and were soiled and stained, the comforter was dark blue with questionable soiling .

Just keep driving and don't stop.
Pros:

This hotel should be condemned. Dirty and outdated don't even describe it. Save yourself the sleepless nights and aggravation.

Pros:

This was the worst hotel experience of my life. Upon check-in, I was handed keys to two rooms (I believe rooms 11 and 15) to choose from.

When I opened the first room, I was shocked to find an unmade bed, it looked like someone had just slept in it. The second room seemed fine at first, but the bathroom was straight out of a horror movie: there were no working lights and everything was covered in rust.

I booked this hotel because it was the cheapest option available that day, but I couldn’t bring myself to stay. I reported the situation to the front desk, but they told me I had to contact the “third-party vendor” to cancel my reservation and request a refund. Expedia has been trying to contact the hotel, but they haven’t been answering and I still haven’t received my refund.

Never stay here
Pros:

Don't stay here ever!
I prepaid for a 5 day stay at this establishment because of the pictures they provided on their website and the reasonable price for the rooms. However, they have you sign a terms and conditions then they give you a key. When you go into the room, it looks nothing like the rooms advertised. The room is in deplorable condition. You can't take a shower, the shower doesn't work. Couldn't wash in the sink as the water smelled. We couldn't brush our teeth. We checked out in the morning and they wouldn't provide a refund due to the terms and conditions they had you sign prior to seeing the room.
