Stay away
Pros:

Nothing

Cons:

Worst hotel experience of my life. It was so dirty, every corner of the room and bathroom had filth and specs of who knows what, the AC was super loud, THE BED HAD HAIRS, MULTIPLE HAIRS INT HE SHEETS, it was tiny, the shower was very small, I’m a woman and could barely move my arms inside. It was honestly a nightmare to stay there.

Great price and great stay.
Pros:

We had a mishap with the door and the front attendant was able to open the door for us quickly and was very courteous when helping.

Cons:

Service and amenities were clean and well kept but I only found it strange that there was no shampoo and conditioner provided. We were able to go to target which was not too far to purchase some.
