やめた方がいい！
Pros:

きれい！
十分な広さ！

Cons:

スタッフがひどかった(高齢の女性）。ドアの開きが悪くて、なかなか開かなかった。それをチェックアウト時に伝えたが、「あなたがドアを壊した！」と繰り返し何度もひどい剣幕で言われ続けた。

夜中2時前に冷蔵庫から（？）超音波が鳴り響き、それによって目が覚めた。それが10分ほど続き、眠れなかった。

立地がいいとは言えない。

Low budget
Pros:

What I like the place there's free ice warm water to take a shower a television refrigerator and a microwave and comfortable beds

Cons:

What I don't like about it I have to put a deposit down at the office and then the office had to give me a remote control which it don't make any sense The remote control you think should be in the room with the TV not with the key in the office plus found dirty towels and also there's no lobby just a little tiny office like a telephone booth to step in to pay for your room to stay and there's no breakfast you have to come extra out your pocket to go out your way for it your breakfast lunch and dinner

Good location if you're driving, quiet/peaceful for sleeping, good value.
Pros:

Easy to get to, a quick drive to the River Walk. It was quiet and the staff was polite.

Cons:

The mirrors on the wall above the bed were annoying and a bit scary. I wanted to sit up in bed to watch tv, but felt the mirror might break. Also, could use a bedside lamp for reading at night.

Pros:

Overall, it was good. It's no 5 star hotel, but it gets the job done. Great place for staying a night or two, if you're just looking for a place to sleep. Clean rooms, hospitable service, would recommend.
