Bring bug spray.
Pros:

Convenience

Cons:

There is an inch gap under door allowing bugs to crawl in. Killed 6 stink bugs first night and two bugs the second night. Will never stay again. Have stayed in the past 6 yrs ago to 3yrs ago. The lace is starting to run down.

Pros:

Nothing except the fact it had a bed and shower

Cons:

The owner is constantly watching you, she watches anyone that you might have Visit you. You have to park your vehicle directly in front of your room and nowhere else or you will get a call and told to move your car. The housekeeper takes anything you leave behind so if you leave something dont even bother calling and asking for it because it's gone for good. No privacy at all and the breakfast is absolutely terrible, Your only options are Cereal or Bread and jelly

It’s obvious the staff has nothing but resentment for their guests.
Pros:

The location is convenient

Cons:

The staff was horrible. I have never been treated so poorly. My wife and i were smoking outside the building. A staff member told is we’re in a non smoking room. When i told her we were not smoking in the room she went back inside and slammed the door. So i went in to all if there was a problem with smoking in that area and if they had a smoking area, trying to be reasonable, she snapped at me. She said “i have a smoking room available” which did not show up on the search with i booked the room. But i just asked Sharon, where would you like us to go to smoke and she just kept snapping. So i asked her to move us to the smoking room and she refused. Then she started yelling at us and when my wife asked why she’s yelling she called my wife crazy (BAD IDEA)!!!!!

I’ll never, EVER stay here again and I’d suggest removing this hotel from all search results. I wouldn’t put my clients in this hotel for any amount of money.

Good value for a budget-concious stay
Pros:

Clean and comfortable, quiet location.Not fancy, but for the price one shouldn't expect fancy. It was very suitable for my needs.

Cons:

There was contradictory information about the desk hours, but after that was resolved there was no further issue.

Once we employed air freshner it was tolerable. We only spent sleeping time there. Not the most friendly host
Pros:

Location & price

Cons:

BAD Tobacco smell in room, need to buy air freshner, host refused to relocate to another room. Lifted sheets and mattress were horrible, brought our own bedding (just in case!)
