My name is Apenisa Madrai. Please check my record in your system
Cons:

We couldn’t find our back anymore just a night we stayed there. It’s so sad when asked your staff on shift about the CCTV CAMERA was not operational.
We are no longer trust you anymore . The bag was stolen in our room # 137 last month in May. The staff on Shift is very short guy male and l think is a mexican.

I would never stay here again
Pros:

Was a good location & had clean sheets and towels.

Cons:

Everything else was dirty. The blankets were gross and you need to turn the heat up really high because the blankets were too thin.

I came for the classic American Motel experience. It was a sobering experience.
Pros:

Nothing. At that pricepoint everything fell short of reasonable.

Cons:

Clapped out premises. Building skewing, first-floor room at an angle. Everything looked and felt worn out, cheap as sh!t. Only highlight was the shower, but only barely.

Basic accomodations were basic and maid service was basic.
Pros:

It was a big clean room and had a refrigerator. I liked the lights over the bed.

Cons:

Didn’t appear to be well maintained i.e. no grab in tub, sink was caulked to the wall, floorboards were coming apart, only 1 wash cloth and bath

My day was good. Work treats me well.
Pros:

There is not much to like here. There are hookers everywhere drugs everywhere people walking by your door knocking on your door not knowing who you are this place is a s*** hole

Cons:

I don't like this place but it's a place to go when I need to go because I am homeless. Ms respectful man
