I couldn't stay. I felt unsafe and wouldn't even try to stay in that room.
Pros:

Did not have the breakfast.

Cons:

I took one look at the room, and returned the key card to the front desk. Broken floor boards, dirty everything, no toilet paper roll!, it was simply the dirtiest, worst motel room I've ever seen.

Pros:

Affordable

Cons:

The black mold, no smoke alarms and all the sketchy people staying there looks like a place for criminals than for actual guests. Make sure when you leave you check your belongings

This place was nasty!
Pros:

I did not like it at all.

There was absolutely nothing to like about saying at this hotel surely because they have bedbugs. I got bitten up and had to leave early.
