Pros:

The gentleman at the counter was very friendly and the online price and what I saw from the reviews if in fact they were real people made it appealing.

Cons:

The area is horribly ridden with prostitutes and drug addicts I am currently watching pimps deal with their women like livestock. Contrary to the top reviews and the listing on the site the ac is broken and parts are hanging out of it. Room was reserved for 3 adults and I only received 2 breakfast vouchers, 1 room key, and 1 towel. I'd call the office but the phone is sticky and gross as well as the table it rests on, I would walk to the front but the accumulation of homeless and thugs in the parking lot and neighboring gas stations makes me feel unsafe. The security is a joke, the room itself is filthy and the bedding is nasty. Walked into a dead roach squished on the floor I had to kick out of the room. Didn't like it so much I cancelled my reservation for the return trip and went with a different hotel group completely on a different city.

Pros:

The actual facilities are not bad! The room was clean everything about the room was good! It was just the people cruising through the parking lot all night that had me on edge a bit.

Cons:

The staff (front counter guy) can be a bit more helpful and friendly with people. And they can be a LOT better about getting people there safety deposits back!

Hotel is A Dump
Pros:

I did a 3:30 AM check-in, to shower before a flight at 6:15, the front desk. Staff said they were on break and was very rude and the hotel was a dump and in a very sketchy neighborhood.
