this place was horrible the people running it are liers and thieves and lazy I would rather sleep w
Pros:

I didnt like anything about it. I highly recommend not to stay there. I wouldnt let my worse enemy stay there. And the people that run it are liers and thieves. I paid with my debit card for the room that I didnt even stay in cause it was gross!! And i paid for the security deposit with cash not realizing they aren't supposed to take cash, and I failed to get a receipt because they didnt offer one. when I left this nasty gross place and went to get my security deposit they only gave me 40$ back because they had wet towels and blanket. well if their room would of been cleaned i wouldnt of had to use their 1979 towels on their 1972 bed to try and half way clean their bed bugs infested room. I went to Booking.com to complain and told them what these people had done and they didnt do anything! And these nasty people told them that I didnt pay my security deposit. Lies!! What place would let anyone stay at their hotel motel without getting their security deposit first? This place needs shut down! I actually felt like I was in a scary movie and was about to be murdered!!! I didnt even stay there because I didnt feel safe at all!

Cons:

Everything!! Wasn't clean the door didnt lock the TV didnt work smelt like cigarettes from the 1980s!! The people that run it is only out for money. never seen them do anything unless they was in the liquor store. this place needs bulldozed in and set on fire and start over. and rhe lazy people that run it and saying its been under construction for the last 5 years, maybe if you actually started on reconstruction you wouldnt have to steal people's hard earned money to stay in this pit you call a hotel.

The price was affordable.
Pros:

The price and the fact that u could park right outside ur room

Cons:

The location is inconvenient. They charge a pet deposit that is not listed on booking.com. the kid working the desk had to come fix the ac and the TV. They should sell more than liquor in their store since there are no stores in walking distance.

Pros:

Love staying here during the Nationals. They are always friendly and take care of us. The housekeeper always makes sure we have fresh towels and wash rags. The liquor store and cigar shop connected is a bonus.

Don't stay here!
Pros:

This had to be the dirtiest most run down places I've ever stayed. Cockroaches, nothing clean in there. No phone (not that anyone needs one anymore) no coffee pot. The a/c didn't work. The list goes on!

Pros:

The manager and staff at this hotel go above and beyond to make your stay comfortable and enjoyable. And can’t speak enough about their kindness. Please ignore the terrible reviews of this property. People can be so ugly and rude. That is not the case with these people. Thank you hotel OYO!

Pros:

The only thing that was good was the lady January who helped us get the tv to work for about an hour ... it was not fit for kids .. the hallways were filthy there was propane tanks and pesticide containers in the hallway by the stairs hair in several spots in the bathroom. I took alot of pics... and they overcharge me almost my room was supposed to only be $130.02 thru expedia and they charged us $342.00 waiting for it to get refunded very angry and the liquor store attached to the hotel smells like rotting meat inside..... like I said the best and only good thing about this hotel is their front desk lady named January

Good enough
Pros:

Much better experience than the last time I stayed here. It was the only hotel in the area available for this weekend, so that’s why I went back. My neighbors were outside talking at the top of their lungs until two in the morning, but that’s not the hotels fault. The air conditioner worked great and the water was hot and The room was clean.
