Wouldn’t recommend
Pros:

The price!

Cons:

Everything, the pictures look nothing like how it is. It’s dirty and very nasty. The hot water don’t work inside the rooms, no tvs! It’s ran down. The only reason we stayed was because we didn’t have anywhere to go at the moment and it was very last minute.

I do not recommend this hotel to anyone
Pros:

I found armed men as a security which made me feel uncomfortable and unsecured.

Cons:

That no one was in front desk which meant that I need to go to different hotel

This hotel needs to be shut down, don't waste your money!
Pros:

The staffs were ok

Cons:

The hotel and rooms are dirty. The heat were not working, blowing out cold air. There were no hot water, no TV, no microwaves, no venting machines, elevators not working, had to walk luggage up and down stairs. The entire hotel was cold. I stayed there for two nights. I checked out and didn't stay the other night and now waiting on a refund.

The truth
Cons:

It was the equivalent of staying at a housing project. Drugs and prostitution evident all around and inside motel. It was filthy inside lobby and room. People gathered in the hallway hanging out. Elevator did not work leaving stairs next to back door . I grew up in this area, so I was shocked to see what it had become after 25 years . I did not stay , I left for home instead, in Oklahoma. I did pay. But I'm refused a refund. The outside of motel had yellow tape all around the valet area. It probably once was a nice motel. But now. I wouldn't allow my worse enemy to stay there.

The worst ever
Cons:

This place was a horrible place. Drugs and prostitutes everywhere. It was like being at the projects. Very scary. I left and drove back home instead of staying. Lost my $50 I paid. I guess there is no refunds. Will never use this cite again.

Pros:

Once I arrived, there was no room available when I got to the hotel. Not because they were full; there were no clean rooms. This was around 2 or 3 in the evening. I had to sit in the lobby with my belongings for close to an hour I had to settle for a room that was not clean nor up to par. The bed sheets had dried up blood on them. The facility was filthy and there was violence throughout the night which made me feel very unsafe. I was not pleased at all with but stay there.

Pros:

This hotel is not at all like the photos in the listing. Carpet ripped up, drug deal in parking lot, paint peeling, lightbulbs missing in hall ways, no staff at front desk, run down part of town. Very scary looking. We cancelled reservation and booked elsewhere.

Pros:

The room I booked is nothing that the ad promotes. I didn’t have a refrigerator, tv or WiFi. Plus when I got in the room the power went out and almost had someone broke in my room. Not safe at all for nobody not even a dog
