The only good thing about this place was price & location.
Pros:

The price, it was cheap enough. And the location is safe.

Cons:

It was disgusting, the room smelled like nothing but pure cigarette smoke to the point that my sinuses were irritated, and I couldn’t breathe without the windows being opened. I did not feel safe sitting or touching anything so I went out got a bunch of cleaning products/ Clorox and cleaned the room myself. The ceiling was falling apart there was dust caked onto the window curtains, the remote was sticky, the walls were sticky, there were stains all over the walls. The only good thing about the motel was location and price. If I wasn’t in a desperate situation, I would’ve demanded my money back and left. Do not stay here unless you have No other options.

Ok
Pros:

El personal súper amable, estaba todo limpio y tiene una muy buena ubicación en media. La habitación es pequeña, está ok para pasar una o dos noches. Tiene mini heladera y microondas. Permiten recibir paquetes sin costo y eso es muy cómodo.

Cons:

La cama es de resortes comunes por lo que cuando se mueve uno se mueve el otro. El aire hacía bastante ruido. La señal del wifi era pobre aunque funcionó. Comparado con otros hoteles que estuvimos la habitación era muy pequeña para un costo igual o mayor.

An affordable stay near campus
Pros:

Affordable for a 1 night stay for college graduation

Cons:

I can still smell cigarettes smoke in the room even though I asked for a nonsmoking room. I sprayed febreeze and knocked out since we’re so tired already.

Clean and updated room but the noise level not for a light sleeper
Pros:

Room has been updated recently. Very clean and equipped with all basic needs - multiple electrical outlets at the bed side, good WIFI, a small fridge, a small microwave.

Cons:

The overall noise level is much higher than other hotels and motels. The bathroom ventilation fan is very loud. If you share the room, then you have to make sure the other person is not a light sleeper when you use the bathroom. Also as our room was at the first floor, we can hear other travelers slammed car doors loudly outside the window. Someone was using a loud vacuum at about 9am near our window. If you are an early bird you might be fine because from 10pm to 7am, it has been quiet.
