FEES ON TOP OF FEES ON TOP OF FEES THIS PLACE IS HELL DON'T GO HERE.
Pros:

Literally nothing about it

Cons:

There was a $30 early check in fee, and another $30 fee because they had to switch our rooms against our will because their website messed up and changed the 4 people we booked the hotel for down to 2. The walls were filthy and torn up, the receptionist was rude about the fees as well.

Pros:

Closeness to airport. It had a microwave and small refrigerator.

Cons:

The first room that I was assigned didn't have working lights and didn't have a remote control.. I was reassigned another room, and thus room did have a orange room lights and a TV remote control. I didn't like that I had to be "buzzed" into the hotel when I left the h I tel to go outside. You should be able to use your key for access.

Price don’t reflect the cleanliness, new beds and some paint would go a long way.
Pros:

Place to sleep for 6 hours.

Cons:

For the price the place was dirty, sheets were stained, splatters on the walls, lamp shades, had to wear shoes to keep feet clean. Bed was so worn out you roll to the middle. Can hear every car drive by with door and window shut. Every tv station was froze like it had no internet.

Pros:

Staff was amazing.

Cons:

When we first checked in the motel. There were lots of hairs at the bed from the previous stay. We asked the reception to changed the room. However he changed it later on. But we liked the room before.
