Pros:

Inexpensive.

Cons:

Location is run down. Seems like they are just trying to milk what they can and then tear it down. There were ashtrays in my room--it is supposedly non-smoking. Bed was old. There were old items in the hallway.

I wish they had coffee makers

I would stay there again - not an extended stay, but good for 1-2 nights.
Pros:

Facility was clean and comfortable!

Cons:

We were in a nonsmoking room, but there was a mild smoke odor in the hallway - not a game changer though since the room was smoke free.

Smells like Teen Spirit
Pros:

It was a good price and you could check in at any hour, we got there at 2am after our flight.

Cons:

It was very loud, people were blasting music from next door and having late night parties, you could smell the smoke from the non smoking room. Not our favourite place.

Really clean room and great value
Pros:

Very clean room

Cons:

On a 91-degree day, the hallways were warm because the hallway HVAC units were not even plugged in, let alone turned on.
No 'Do Not Disturb' sign for the door.
No shampoo in bathroom. When I asked upon leaving at the front desk - attendant said we have some at the desk. I replied - "Who is going to get out of their shower and go to the front desk?"
When I called in the morning to ask if we can check out an hour later, person on phone had me hold for 20 seconds and then said - yes it will cost $20.00 and you have to pay cash when you check out. When I asked for receipt for my $20.00 cash payment when we checked out, he printed a receipt for my room stay, not the extra hour fee. Upon realizing this, I went back inside from my car and then asked directly for a receipt for my $20.00 fee and got one.
