Worst one in my whole life
Pros:

Nothin at all… and I’m a positive person that tries to see the bright sight of every. I left with fear of catching an infection.

Cons:

A friend of the staff (Asian girl) cursed and threatened my friends and their kids to use her gun and “blow their brains out”, just because my friend asked someone else (not the girl) to help open the door for them since their hands were holding kids and stuff from the beach. The staff did nothing and laugh.

All bath towels were covered with hair
The floor was sooo dusty and dirty
People were selling “questionable merchandise” in the parking lot

We didn’t stay. Very sketchy place
Cons:

The outside and lobby smelled awful of marijuana. There was also sketchy people hanging around out front and out back staring at us. We never stayed at this facility, we went elsewhere

Pros:

My room was clean and the price affordable for one night during this period. I paid around 110 dollars TTC, so it's fit my budget.

Cons:

The time of check-in and check-out are not enough compared to France, but I realized it's the USA culture so even when visiting NYC in the 4* Hotel it was the same.
Check-in begins at 15 and check out at 10 am for me that's not enough. In France Check-in is at 12 pm and check out too.
