If price is more important than cleanliness, this is the place to stay.
Pros:

I booked this motel because I needed the cheapest place to stay one night before an event in NYC.

Cons:

Room was filthy. Hairs on toilet. Debris in fridge. Intense smoke odors. The booking.com rate was higher than the rate posted in the room. Finders fee ripoff I guess. It's worth staying here if you really can't afford to spend more than necessary and are willing to make compromises on sanitation. But frankly I think it's even a bit expensive for what they give you.

Cons:

The motel description said non-smoking rooms. We had a hard time getting in because of the cigarette smell. Even the walls were yellowed from the smoke.

Pros:

Cockroaches galore. Expedia will not give a refund. Probably should avoid booking on cheap tickets or any other sites owned by Expedia because they refuse to help.

Bugs and dead cockroaches in the room.
Pros:

Convenient location, that's all.

Cons:

Bugs and dead cockroaches in the room. Poor cleanliness. Bad design and smell. Too expensive if looking at the value you get out of it. Not worth it.

Meh! Just for one night.
Pros:

The bed is comfortable, access is easy, the bathroom has good water pressure, the air conditioning is old but works perfectly.

Cons:

It’s a motel like a movie, you can tell it’s very old, it must be about 30 or 40 years old and it’s never had remodeling. The smell of cigarettes is unbearable, it is stuck to the carpet and curtains, they should not allow smoking. The lights are gloomy, yellow and not very powerful, the wood of the furniture and doors is noticeable worn. In short, if you go alone to spend a night or rest for a few hours it is perfect, but it is NOT a place where you can spend more than one night. The night costs 200 dollars, to be honest for the motel conditions they should not charge more than 100. It’s time to do a complete remodeling, ban smoking and it would be the perfect motel.
