Cons:

Dirtiest motel room I have ever been in.

I wiped my body with a towel and hairs stuck onto my body. I found long hairs and pubic hair in the bed. Then a hairball on the bedside table. The hairs were all the same color indicating that nothing was cleaned. Manager did not believe me. I have never been more repulsed by a place to stay and on top of that a lack of compensation. I would not falsify a report to aimlessly hurt a company, I just do not want this to happen to anyone else.
