Stay far away....
Pros:

Absolutely nothing.

Cons:

..... I made the booking thru you guys but had cash to pay with which is why I didn't pay thru you ... I go to put money in the card get it on there show up at the motel on time he said my card machines down need cash well I only had enough for the room in order to get it off there was a 2.50 ATM fee.... I go back there and he wouldn't accept it being 2.50 short .. I found . 50 in my car which made it 2$ under...... I understand that it cost what it cost but it wasn't my fault his card machines was down I had to wait untill midnight when my son got off work to have him send me the money to get in there.... It just got worse from there.... The room had a smell of spoiled yogurt as you walked in to it the bed wasn't made and I'm assuming by the stains on the bedding that it hadn't been changed since the last people stayed.... There was what appeared to be urine in the sink when I stated that the room was unacceptable he told me that it was the only one available and that there was no refunds.......

I don't recommend this hotel
Pros:

The location of the hotel is the only thing positive about it.

Cons:

The room was very dirty. Badly stained carpet in the room. It smelled dirty. The extra lock on the door was broken, and being on disability I wasn't expecting to have to walk so far to the room. I would have been better off saving the money for the hotel and slept in my vehicle.
