Decent, but probably wouldn’t stay again
Pros:

Couldn’t hear airplanes. Motel was a good distance to the zoo and aquarium.

Cons:

The floors were nasty in my room and made my feet extremely dirty.
You have to wash your own towels…
No curtains, the room was very bright with just the blinds.

Unsafe, unfair
Pros:

Nothing

Cons:

The hotel is a temp housing for homeless. I felt extremely unsafe in location. I tried to check in & was told to come back in an hour because she was about to be paid by the residence as they needed to pay her for their stay. I asked to use their bathroom and was told to use chick filet up the street. I had to pay $400 for another hotel & she still charged me when I didn’t stay there. Horrible. Never again!

Great place for work stay, good newly renovated room to lay your head down in the evenings.
Pros:

Newly renovated room. The staff were excellent, open to questions and super understanding. Can't say enough good things about the lady behind the counter and the property manager, D. They were excellent. I was traveling for work and my work plans changed making the location no longer a good fit for me and the staff were super understanding and accomodated me to make a change so I could end my reservation early and credited me the balance. Thanks gals...that was great customer service.

Cons:

The neighborhood was ok. You just can't beat the price. If travelling for work for an extended stay, great location.

Cons:

Es war bein Check-in niemad da und das Zimmer konnte nicht benutzt werden. Es gab keine eindeutige Aussage über Öffnungszeiten. Mein Mann ist aus Deutschland um 9:00pm angekommen und fand niemanden vor Ort. Auch die Telefonnummer hatte nichts genutzt .
Wir sind sehr enttäuscht.
