About what you would expect for the money.
Pros:

It was easy to find and inexpensive, which was the priority for the night. Room was reasonably clean. Staff was friendly.

Cons:

It needs some attention. It looks like it has not been updated in years. Building in front full of broken windows and other unidentifiable items.

Pros:

The area was good for being able to get around town easier and everything was closer, nice front desk lady.

Cons:

Bathrooms smelled like cigarette smoke so bad that we had to spray perfume and turn on the phone just to use it, the hallways are dirty and stinky as well like an old smell. It was hidden behind an abandoned hotel very sketchy. The first night the shower head was broke so was very uncomfortable to shower lady at the desk gave us a new shower head to put on, but the water isn’t very warm, so expect a lukewarm shower.

Hope you like other people's bodily fluids!
Pros:

The pillow was soft....

Cons:

You enter to lobby to the lovely smell of weed and then approach the front desk to see numerous lip prints all over the plexiglass glass windows you have to talk thru. Once you enter your room, you'll find the remnants of the prior occupants bodily fluids all over the room including short curly dark hair under the toilet seat. Make sure you check out the amazing desk chair that is in the room, if your lucky like we were you'll be able to tell the people before you have a lot of fiber in their diet by the dry and crusty brown paste smeared in the center of the seat. Once you get the office staff to change your room, make sure you check the towels on the rack so you don't pull a folded towel down to dry off, only to find clumps of pink hair and lipstick wrapped up in the center of the towel. The best part of the stay however is waking up to find mouse poop in the other bed that you know was not there the night before. Oh and don't turn on the TV for sound as you'll find only a pink screen and no sound.

Not a good place but decent staff
Pros:

Friendly receptionist, horrible location and place. We did not stay after seeing 2 different rooms and were refunded.

Cons:

Horrible location, destroyed building out front, bees surrounded front of building, spiderweb and spiders everywhere, room not cleaned properly, hairs in the bed on sheets, badly stained furniture, etc. She apologized, showed us another room and was the same situation. She refunded us and we went to another hotel.

It was shitty and I hope this place goes under new management. I hope the owner fires that manger and his wife. I will b
Pros:

Nothing at all the staff are rude to guests. They pick and choose who they help and they get smart with guests who actually tell them what’s wrong with the property or there rooms.

Cons:

I don’t like the way staff handled a situation. As legal consultant I hope that pregnant young lady gets a lawyer. They really gilt tripped her into signing paperwork so she couldn’t sue. And recording that poor lady without her permission was so unprofessional
