Would have been what I was expecting but having no A/C was no good.
Pros:

It was two blocks away from why we were there. And right in the middle of everything.

Cons:

No A/C in the middle of August is very uncomfortable. Only thing front desk could do is give a small fan. The room was in a little bad shape but it’s what you get for the cost.

Pros:

The location.

Cons:

First room the bathroom light was very dim. Went to front desk was offered a bulb to fix it. The when I explain I was to short and it had a surround he moved us to another room. The new room had been a smoking room. They had sprayed something that made it smell bad. The desk chair has lost part of its cover. The fridge was dirty. The tv stand was damaged. There was a spill or something on the bathroom floor.

I’ll try a different place next time.
Pros:

The staff was nice.

Cons:

The cover had stains on them. The carpet was gross. Didn’t want to take my shoes off until time to get in bed. Immediately had to wipe down the main door and bathroom door due to some type of dark splatter on them. Thankfully I had Clorox wipes with me. Other than that it was okay. The neighborhood is sketch, a lot of roamers.
