Buon motel
Pros:

La stanza era ristrutturata, e nella hall la mattina era disponibile il caffè ed era buono. In camera c' era sua una zona tipo scrivania sia un tavolo in più e nell' ingresso c'è sia il lavabo da bagno sia il lavandino tipo cucina. Ed è comodo se devi lavarti i denti o truccarti mentre gli altri sono in bagno, lo puoi fare senza aspettare.
Economico, buono per una notte

Cons:

Mancava il phon in camera

Quiet, clean and a bargain
Pros:

Can’t beat the price! It’s a budget hotel, but super clean and quiet. It’s also only 20 min from casinos and minutes from everything else.

Cons:

Nothing 😁

Giusto per una notte
Pros:

Il prezzo decisamente buono per la zona. Pesente un frigo spazioso e un microonde. Disponibile una piccola colazione con caffè e tè caldo. Molto parcheggio intorno.

Cons:

Il letto davvero scomodo, sfondato. La pulizia lascia a desiderare come anche l'impianto di condizionamento.
