Horrible...
Pros:

Pretty clean.

Cons:

I know it's hard to find good maintenance people and to stay on top of all the ongoing issues that need to be addressed with a motel. Discounted rates or partial refunds for sub par rooms for whatever reason, should be offered. Being next to or surrounded by rooms with dogs that constantly bark is horrible. Of course we didn't like that. We also didn't like the homeless person sitting on the cement directly outside our room all morning having very loud and conversations with herself. And then there are the surrounding 2nd story motel guests who are having loud, ongoing conversations outside our room with people down in the parking lot in the midnight hours. Are you kidding? This location desperately needs security doing constant and ongoing patrols day and night since the front desk doesn't/can't take care of all the issues and they don't answer the phone half of the time anyway.
The front desk was not honest or effective either. I'm tired of going into the problems with this motel since I hardly slept. But management can call me for more in depth detail.

It was an amazing time with my partner and cat
Pros:

It gave my partner and I an opportunity to feel what it’d be like to “live with each other” for a bit. It was an amazing experience

Cons:

The cleanliness of the bathroom could’ve been a lil better but all in all it was nice
