never again. this place gave me the creeps and i feel cleaner sleeping outside😭
Pros:

nothing this was quite literally the worst hotel i’ve ever stayed in

Cons:

Half the building looked like it was burned down or destroyed, a creepy old area inside with an old “water park” looking area. burn holes in all of the sheets and blankets. AC barely worked. mold on the shower curtain. tub and sinks were not thoroughly cleaned. Hallways had no airflow , they were hot and humid. ice machines didn’t work. the shower water barely stayed lukewarm the entire shower. the only positive part of my stay was the receptionist being super nice and accommodating, but the hotel itself was disgusting

Decent but easily improvable
Pros:

Room is nice. Beds are comfortable. Staff, mainly owner and his wife who does housekeeping are not very personable. Rest of staff is very respectful.

Cons:

Hotel could easily be fixed up and improvements made. Cheap yes, but given the damage to the property and lack of upgraded, modern well anything, makes it not very inviting. It's not somewhere I would pick just by driving by that's for sure. The pictures online are very deceiving. Honestly I can't believe people can stay here with walls collapsing, air conditioner is not running and the ones which do are mini ac units, above the door, instead of below a window and half the normal size. Room size is big but the air conditioner is too small to keep up.

Its a room
Pros:

Location and price.

Cons:

Owner and wife who work there aren't very respectful or good resources. Rest of staff is. Everything is outdated or falling apart. Pictures are deceitful.

Pros:

Nothing they was rude and lied about some things tht had nothing to do with me.

Cons:

The hallway smelled and so did the room. They was disrespectful. Had to wait forever at the desk to get checked in.
