We couldn't stay because the front desk refuse to provide the room we reserved and paid in front.
Pros:

Nothing to like because they don't give us the room we reserved and paid.

Cons:

The property refuse to provide a room with two beds for us. Said either took the room with one bed or cancel the stay. We have three adults, can not stay without two beds, we have no choice, booked next property close by to stay. We request full refund from the property，the issue has not been settled yet.

It's cheap but desperate for a proper bathtub I wish I had one.
Pros:

The fact the bed is comfortable.

I requested a bathtub and only got a shower. I requested a room with a view of the parking lot but got a view of the elevator. I wish I had a bathtub.

Totally uncomfortable!!!!!!
Pros:

The hotel did not serve breakfast.

Cons:

Our room floor was dirty, the sheets had paw prints on them. We had to purchase cleaning products to clean the bathroom. Crumbs were all over the table, chairs and floors. The pillowcases were dirty. We had to ask for a blanket. We were told that no other rooms were available, so we had to stay in that room. Bugs (roaches) were on the floor and bed. I have pictures to prove what was noted. Very disappointed and displeased. We were not expecting royal treatment, but cleanliness.

Not worth more than 25$
Pros:

Maybe the location

Cons:

Old room, old furniture, had to wait for about 90 minutes to get checked in even though it was supposed to be ready before we even arrived at the premises.
The room and the furniture was very old, not clean.
We asked for at least a partial refund because we checked out immediately, but of course that wasn't even considered and the argument given was you checked in.
