Just not as expected and very disappointed over all with the room and the stay.
Pros:

None

Cons:

I did not like the rooms, beds, flooring, there was some kind of construction going on next door that woke us up from 730am driling the kids woke up scared. There was Cockroach and other small Insect all over the sink, floor and bathroom tub and sealing too. It was nasty. The bed board's were all scratched out o bitten by pets, No phone in the room had to run to the front desk when we needed something. I would not recommend this hotel to anyone, the rooms looks nothing like any of the pictures they have on the webiste!

Staying here is a complete waste of your money and you are definitely risking your life and safety.
Pros:

There was not anything i liked. I can say the parking being close to the room was nice.

Cons:

The room was in complete disarray in that every piece of furniture was broken. The chair, the ac unit, the office chair, the table that was supposed to to be a dresser of office desk but was just a broken table. The microwave had rust on it and there was garbage in the room. The police came and pointed there guns right at us as they were extracting a different hotel guest after she had thrown everything out of her room onto my car.

We had no hot water and no heat
Pros:

There was no hot water in our room

Cons:

We have no hot water in our room and they showed us two rooms that they knew had no hot water instead of giving us a new room and they also didn’t offer us any future stay or anything. We’re actually very cold and not very personable about it.
