Pros:

Location

Cons:

Everything else! There was no refrigerator, or microwave, and the hot water was only a couple of degrees warmer than the cold water hardly any difference. There was a lot of suspicious looking locals living in the motel, and apparent drug deals happening in the parking lot. Do yourself a favor, and do not ruin your trip by staying here.

Not for everybody.
Pros:

If you are looking for a new clean smelling room that makes you feel clean and cozy this place is not for you. If you are all about the bottom dollar and realize you're only in a room to sleep and you don't care about looks, smells, and a general feeling of safety then this place might be for you.

Cons:

Great to walk all around town and you have very easy access to side by side rentals.

Cons:

They never changed the sheets - like a month went by before they cleaned or did anything other than take out the trash. The staff there were so rude especially one of the cleaning ladies - she had a bad attitude and i never even talked to them.
