Dirty hotel and corrupt workers trying to steal deposits
Pros:

Nothing it was poorly maintained

Cons:

It was dirty and nasty .the guy that was in front office insisted that he check the room before we left so I can get my deposit back for the room . He went into the room and pulled the curtain off and called me to the room to say that we had pulled it off I argued with him about this for 10 minutes then he said he was gonna pay me back I still haven’t got it and I think I will . But it’s not about the money it’s the fact that he’s trying to basically steal money from people

Cons:

I stayed in a 2 bed motel room , it wasn't the best clean motel room. The shower knobs would make a lot of noise while showering. I would not stay here again.

Pros:

It was close to everything I had to do for the week

Horrible
Pros:

Had to get refund: liked nothing.

Cons:

The first room, the door was open before we went in, it appeared as though someone was sleeping in the bed because the pillows were propped up. We went out and came back and the bathroom had water all over the floor as if someone was using it. They charged us room and there was cockroaches in restroom and bugs on the floor coming out of wall.
