The price and location fit my needs, you get what you pay for.
Pros:

There was no breakfast, the price was right but you get what you pay for. I had trouble with the WIFI and it was resolved quickly.

Cons:

The room was OK, one of the lights in the main room did not work, my power plugs did not want to stay plugged in.
The room itself seemed to be clean but was shabby and run down looking.

It was a place to sleep that was not exactly very nice overall.
Pros:

The price was cheap, and it was a place to sleep. I was given the option of checking out the room before committing to my reservation, and I didn’t see signs of bedbugs

Cons:

The walls are thin. The room was non-smoking, but I think the pillows and/or sheets had been used a smoking room and weren’t cleaned sufficiently to get rid of the odor entirely. It wasn’t very nice - walls were crumbling in areas, there was a wood post under the sink to keep it on the wall, and generally it just seemed in disrepair.

Inexpensive, clean, but smells of cigarettes.
Pros:

Friendly staff, convenient location in the suburbs, but next to a major road, one-story building - parking in front of the door: very convenient.

Cons:

Strong smell of cigarette smoke in the bathroom.
