Not worth it anymore
Cons:

I booked a room and had to pay an additional $11 per night for a room with a fridge and microwave that did not work good. The rooms were humid feeling even with the air on, no room service occurred and even before entering the new room assigned to with the fridge and microwave the floors were not swept or moped and the door did not close all the way even when locked with both locks. Every outlet in the room was popped out and there was natts flying around in the room and on our food whenever we would be eating.

Pros:

Location.

Cons:

Rooms were not clean bathrooms were the worst. The line in the office was filled with guest waiting to ask for towels and toiletries. Toiletries were sold in a vending machine which didn't sit well with guest. AC was not working I had to go to the nearest Walmart and purchase a fan to be comfortable enough to sleep.

We made the best of conditions we were given.
Pros:

Conveniently close to everything whether it be food options, various stores or activities to do.

Cons:

Honestly this hotel has gone down severely. Our room did not feel or look the cleanest the smell of the room was not pleasant, the random hair in the shower and on the inside of the comforters on both beds. The many stains and smudges on the walls, the dusty curtains the shower curtain holding on for dear life. It all needs an upgrade. Shower was small but had great pressure and warmed up fast.
I did not take photos because I wasn’t planning on leaving a review but here I am.
Also the man at reception did his best with what he could offer to accommodate our one night stay.
