I will never stay at that hotel
Pros:

Nothing no even the bed

Cons:

The issue that it was a section 8 hotel and it was not noted on the advertisement… too many homeless
Police activity at night, too many people outside late at night. No iron, refrigerator nor blue dryer in the room.
A person was trying to get into my car

A convenient place, great if you’re traveling with dogs
Pros:

I think that people who have stayed here know it’s a good location for being right off the freeway with food and gas available . They still have some section 8 people, but they are at the back section of the property and are usually quiet. We stay because it’s dog friendly. Friendly staff,, clean facilities.

Cons:

If I was the property owner, I’d refurbish a couple rooms at a time. Definitely a money maker because it’s always full.
