Horrible and dangerous but ok in emergency
Pros:

It was convenient for the moment. The beds were comfy. That's about it.

Cons:

It's riddled with prostitutes and people paying for prostitutes, very dangerous. The lamp had no bulb, the remote had no batteries and we had to keep walking down to the office to get stuff that wasnt here in the room that i paid for. One guy waited outside my window staring straight up and making weird gestures (He was probably waiting for a prostitute idk.) Lots of drug addicts.

Sheets had stains, toilet had pubic hair, covers had cigarette burns, lamps didn’t have light bulbs. I was put on the se
Pros:

The location

Cons:

Sheets had stains, toilet had pubic hair, covers had cigarette burns, lamps didn’t have light bulbs. I was put on the second floor and I had a bunch of suitcases so my family came to help bring them up the stairs, the main office dude then says I can’t bring it visitors, okay whatever, my family leaves like 3 minutes after because they were disgusted by the place to begin with, anyways about an hour and a half later the dude calls my room and says “your family never left I have been checking the cameras” after telling him that they’ve been gone he says “no they didn’t, I will send someone upstairs and can kick you out the room” There was obviously no other choice than to me to agree for some random person to come in and check for my gone family members. This is about 10 pm now, I’m sleepy, 10 minutes pass by and no one has come up yet, I call the main office and ask him when is the guy coming, “he’ll be there” I ask if they can come faster he says “Why? Why do you need him to come faster?” BECAUSE ITS 10PM AND YOURE BOTHERING ME BECAUSE YOU TOOK YOUR EYES OFF THE CAMERAS?!?! the maintenance guy comes shortly after, super nice man and tells me he hopes I have a good stay even after the disturbance. The maintenance guy was the only good part about the whole stay

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.
