Probably the worst hotel experience ive ever had
Cons:

The place was a disgusting disaster. The room was filthy, the bed had garbage underneath it that they refused to clean. And when I expressed my concerns to the front desk they told me they don't care. Embarrassing that you even listed that place.

Pros:

Nothing really

Cons:

This hotel was filthy, the bathroom was gross and i felt like the beds and sheets were dirty. Not worth $100 per night before a discount ..not even $77 dollars was worth it. It was the worst experience i have had at a hotel

Overall my stay felt like a bad fever dream. Would not recommend, would not stay again.
Pros:

The front desk manager was kind enough. The towels and sheets were clean.

Cons:

The mattress had a low spot in it so bad that while laying down my feet were higher than my head. Motel had a generally sketchy vibe that outdid most Motel 6's I have stayed at.

Bad stay in Boise!
Pros:

The refrigerator and TV worked

Cons:

For the price this was one of the worst hotels I have ever stayed in! The room smelled, the floor was dirty, one of the beds frame was broken, the very small full size beds were uncomfortable, the property was rundown, the bathroom toilet paper wasn't placed on a dispenser and half the lights didn't work

Just a place to get a few hours off the road. Keep going and you'll find a Super 8 for about the same price.
Pros:

The gal at the front desk was friendly and pleasant.

Cons:

It's tucked in the back of several properties, upkeep on the overall property needs major attention. The microwave in the room had to be moved in order to reach an outlet. Room was rundown and in need of deep cleaning in order to maintain a decent cleaning schedule. There was dirt and trash from previous travelers under the bed and behind the dresser hid various screws and other things that don't belong. The bathroom fixtures were old and rusty. It was questionable so the shower wasn't used.
