Pros:

Not much

Cons:

This is a "hot sheets" motel that charges by the hour. Literally. My bad for picking it but you'd think that Booking.com would vet this better. Way too dirty for the price. The sheets had stains. The window was broken. No smoke detector. People were smoking and it was blowing into the room through the vent. Thermostat locked and blowing cold air all night even though it was 50 degrees outside. Is a refund possible? This is disgraceful.

It was terrible.
Pros:

Nothing staff was rude and was moved to 4 different rooms

Cons:

The last room of 4 was the only one with a working AC. This place isnt worth the money I paid to stay there.
