I checked in, I slept, I left.
Pros:

It was easy to check in. The checkin guy wanted everyone to show ID but then didn’t check that everyone had shown ID.

Cons:

Maybe the homeless people around the property could sleep in the empty rooms.

Orribile e deludente, state alla larga
Pros:

La gentilezza e simpatia dello staff.

Cons:

Tutto quanto. La struttura è sporca e fatiscente, non fidarevi delle foto proposte. Tanto per cominciare ci è stata data una camera diversa da quella prenotata e pagata tramite Booking. Ovviamente la camera che abbiamo avuto era di livello inferiore rispetto a quella pagata, ma quando siamo andati a lamentarci per quesra cosa, ci è stato detto che in struttura non avevano camere del tipo di quella da noi pagata e che dovevamo in caso prendercela con Booking. La camera era molto sporca e fatiscente: il pavimento era consumato e rotto, le tappezzerie sporche e con macchie evidenti, i mobili pieni di polvere e di capelli, il gabinetto con macchie di sporco inequivocabili e la biancheria da bagno insufficiente. La cosa peggiore sono state le lenzuola: in uno dei due letti presenti nella camera non erano state cambiate e oltre ad essere tutte aggrinsite, presentavano impronte di animali, peli e capelli.

Got duped in the whole reservation, double charged by Booking.com and hotel.
Pros:

Location. Dog friendly. Pet stays free.

Cons:

Made and paid for a reservation for a room on Booking.com but property could not find my reservation at check in, resulting in my paying one more time for a new reservation. Room is small, shower stall is tiny, no refrigerator and microwave.

I didn’t even stay a single night and I paid for 3. No photos cause I left after checkin.
Pros:

Nothing really

Cons:

I only rented the room so I could use the pool. The pool was closed all week for maintenance. I was hoping at least the room would have a mini fridge or something for cold drinks but realized it’s a motel and does not have those accommodations. The ate my bad, but the pool not being open was not cool

Pros:

Pool makes a huge difference! Family loved to swim. Location is right by the frewway and lots of fast food restaurants so that was also convienent.

Cons:

The neighborhood is sketchy. Lots of people hanging out around the hotel smoking. Security glass protecting the worker after 9pm if you want to talk to the front desk.

Un manque de propreté mais un grand merci au Monsieur (avec une grande barbe). Il est au top.
Pros:

La personne qui était présente à notre arrivée a été très agréable et a été très disponible. Nous remercions ce Monsieur. Il est au top.

Cons:

Le logement n’était pas très propre. Le linge de lit était correct. La chambre manquait d’aération. Mauvaise odeurs.

No refrigerator or microwave
Pros:

Manager had good attitude when I checked in. Had first floor I had requested. Room had recently almost completed renovation. New HVAC is very quiet.

Cons:

Room had no refrigerator or microwave and no discount for lack of either.
Mattress had not been replaced, I could feel the springs. Stay would have been much better if the manager had informed me about ongoing renovation and missing amenities.

I didn’t have good experience in the room I was placed in.
Cons:

Bed, towels looked dirty, noisy room with loud air conditioning. Shower towels and sink towels were smudged, although the room was supposed to be non-smoking, the room reeked with old cigarette smell.
