Pros:

Room was clean, new towel and washcloth in the room at check in. Super cold AC. Stronger WiFi and tvs with at least local channels would be nice.

Would have been nice..
Pros:

The stay would have been better if I was notified that they were doing repairs/upgrades during my stay. At check in I was informed that not all rooms had working TVs as they were working on the cable system. I was like ok, I have my tablet so as long as the Wi-Fi is running I'll be fine. Was informed the Wi-Fi was down due to the cable upgrade. I had my phone with a hotspot so that worked but part of the reason I booked there was the included WiFi and TV, neither of which was operational.
The room was listed as non smoking but it had been smoked in recently. The light on the wall had no switch to turn it on or off so I had to unplug and plug it in to use. The bathroom lights, one was burned out, another flickered constantly. On a stay for 2 nights only I towel was provided and no bathmat.
Overall, this location is not one I'd go back to.

Please Stay away.
Pros:

There is no drying towels, no soap, the television did not work. The air conditioning need to be fixed. Needs to be treated for insects and bugs. $20 ought to be the price for this room, provided you bring your own can of bugs spray.

Pros:

I have been to a number of cheap hotels/motels but this was the first time I felt concerned for my health and safety. My husband and I only stayed one night and if we had not already paid/had gotten there earlier (we checked in at around 2:00 am) we would have likely found another place.

The rooms depicted in the pictures looked nothing like the room we had (only a bed and a broken cupboard of sorts. There was no TV or wifi in the room. Most of this is tolerable in my opinion but when we woke up to leave there were a number of cockroaches on the floors in the bathroom and the bedroom. Also the door did close and lock but didn’t latch properly.
I found it hard to reconcile my experience with past reviews as they all seemed decent so either we were given a different room than depicted or at least some of the reviews are not honest ones.

The only positive is the staff we encountered were all friendly. We didn’t bring up any issues to them as we only were there for a few hours.
