Kinda ghetto, but adequate if you want to “rough it”
Pros:

Near the airport, inexpensive, good restaurant on premises. Adequate for my purposes. Great place if you’re ok with “roughing it”. I’m a male used to camping in Alaska, so this is a step up. I would NOT bring my family here though.

Cons:

This is basically a ghetto hotel complete with crackheads wandering the parking lot. I did not feel safe going from my car to the room, and I’m a guy who can take care of himself. Once inside the room, the door has good a good secure lock and the essentials (shower, beds, etc) were ok. Bring earplugs - lots of outside noise (cars peeling out, etc). All that said, I would probably stay there again.

Cold room, unusable sink, etc.
Pros:

The air conditioner worked, but the heating did not. The TV and cable box worked, but the remote did not. The sink faucet worked, but the sink was plugged. There was toilet paper available, but it wasn't on the roll. There was a phone, but pressing 0 didn't call front-desk. There was a made bed, but it was scarce for warm bedding. There were lights, but they weren't accessible from the room's door.

Cons:

All of the issues.
