Pros:

It was close to my appointment the next day

Cons:

Parking was terrible. The parking lot was a mud hole. The room and main office smelled funny. It's located close to railroad tracks.. the a/c unit was so loud it was hard to hear the tv. This place is a dive and needs to be remodeled.

Intense chemical cleaner smell in the room
Pros:

Location was decent...

Cons:

They used some industrial chemical to clean the room, it was so intense that I wasn't able to sleep at all, and some would say I'm exxagerating but the day after leaving I noticed that my clothes had the smell completed saturated in the fabric.
Oh and the bed was sagging on one side
This was the most expensive place I stayed and the worst experience.

Made me wonder about the criteria booking.com uses to include hotels they offer.
Pros:

This was the worst property I’ve ever seen. There was nothing we liked about the property refusing to stay there.

Cons:

I felt unsafe after being approached by another guest who was asking for food.

Pros:

Nichts!

Cons:

Der Vorplatz, Parkplatz vor den Zimmern war vermüllt mit alten Möbeln und Matratzen. Es werden Tauben gefüttert, die ihre Hinterlassenschaften zurücklassen, das Zimmer hatte kein Fenster, es roch schlecht und es war total eng. Der Preis dafür war unverschämt! Im Zimmer war ein Loch in der Wand und das Kabel der Klimaanlage war in Plastik verpackt. Außerdem fuhr mehrmals am Tag ein Zug laut hupend vorbei.

Maybe a little better than sleeping in your car
Pros:

The price relative to other motels.

Cons:

VERY sketchy area. Property is being renovated so new floor had drywall mud and paint splattered all over. No trashcan in the room at all. Bathroom had no countertop. Shower has huge rain head in a small corner shower so couldn’t escape the downpour. Shower hand sticks out halfway in to the shower. This isn’t their fault but the train runs across the street and came thru twice in the night blasting its horn.
