You get what you pay for
Pros:

Close to airport and cheaper than other jotels

Cons:

Furniture ready to be taken to the dump...Place is musty and stinks. Bed cover had many holes.... floors were dirty... paint on wall peeling... shower door broken. Probably nice enough in the 70's .but that's how old the furniture is. Much deferred maintenance

Pros:

Die größe vom Zimmer und das Bett waren OK!

Cons:

Die Anlage ist genau in der Anflugschneise vom Flughafen und der Strassenlärm war auch extrem! Zusätzlich
2 Tage Feuerwerkslärm von Abends bis in den Morgen. Kann natürlich wegen 4Juli gewesen sein!

The hood roach motel
Pros:

Nothing, it's nothing like what you see in the picture. The night's employee was acceptable. He tried but I was over it.

Cons:

What I didn't like, as soon as my husband opened the door to the room we were greeted by two roaches making a run for it,the light from outside I supposed it startled the roaches. The room had an odor to it the curtains was hanging down you couldn't put them back onto the hook it just was unacceptable. It's like some old trap hotel and if you don't mind staying in that type of environment you had late night move around people on the property had someone on the fourth level smoking marijuana so that was coming down it was just nothing good about it and if you don't mind being in the hood then I suppose that's your spot. I didn't stay in the room to know how the bed was how anything was once I seen the roaches greet me at the door it was over

Pros:

During the world cup this hotel was perfect for the males only and no family, please be aware if you want to stay in this hotel with your family which is not that suitable for families, they let everyone get the room even hourly and this will not make the hotel secure.

Falta mantenimiento y renovado.
Pros:

Hay que reconocer wue el hotel esta muy limpio y bien ubicado.

Cons:

Esta muy deteriorado, se ve que tuvo una época de esplendor en los años 80, desde que entras se observa viejo y descuidado, le falta mucho mantenimiento. Debo reconocer que laa habitaciones son cómodas, muy limpias y tienen una buena pantalla, pero se nota el paso del tiempo.
