Pros:

The rooms were big kitchen was nice.

Cons:

We arrived to what we were told was a pet friendly hotel to them saying they no longer accept pets but thankfully allowed ours. Also they advertise as free breakfast hotel but do not have breakfast. Then I asked for pots for the kitchen in our room were told they'd be coming and the whole week never got them. There was only 2 plates cups and sliver wear sets for a 4 person hotel room. We left our trash outside our room in the morning for house keeping but they never took it so we had to take it to the dumpster.

It sucked I've never stay in a place so nasty and dirty
Cons:

The hotel was filthy wreaked of cigarettes and Marijuana. No at front desk because they were outside smoking pot with the crew that must have been living there out in the parking lot drinking alcohol
And racing scooters in the parking lot
We stayed for 6 days and our room was never cleaned no clean sheets no clean towels the kitchen area had dirty sticky floors no coffee maker no dishes or silverware no pot pan no dish soap or dishwasher detergent smelled of .mold
Bugs crawling everywhere I had to take all of my clothing to a laundromat to make sure the bugs weren't in my luggage I rate this dive of a l"hotel and that's stretching it" a negative 20
PLEASE IF YOU ARE CONCIDERING THIS PLACE I EMPLORE YOU ..DON'T
YOU JUST MAY COME BACK WBUGS IN YOUR LUGGAGE
Also they said they offered breakfast.....they did not nor the pool they said they had
I travel alot and this by far is the worst place I've stayed
I emplore you not to consider this place

Pros:

Nothing.
Did not stay there.

Cons:

Walking in the room smell like smoke stains in the chairs. Mode on the bathroom walls round the tub.
The pictures will fool you online. The pictures probably was when the place was brand new 10 /15 years ago.

Pros:

Nothing

Cons:

Place is so disgusting. Also, they will make up lies and keep your deposit. There was a bloody tampon in the hallway and found clothes left by previous guests in the room. Had to stay here because we were transitioning to a new home. Awful, awful experience.
