Cons:

>It felt absolutely unsafe. If I was alone, I would have left.
>filthy. Dead bugs, debris & garbage in the room
>no kitchen amenities as promised in the ad and when asked. I was told too bad, I booked wrong. "But the ad said it would be there, how would I have known that?" Too bad...

don’t blindly book a hotel!
Pros:

nothing… literally nothing.

Cons:

seemed to be in a superrrr rough area, room reeked of cigarettes immediately upon entry, we both got itchy after laying in the bed for 30 minutes… upon further inspection we just decided to leave because we didn’t want to catch bed bugs or whatever they had going on there. the room also had no fridge or microwave or any type of amenities. just the bare minimum, if that.

Not good at all.
Pros:

It was a place to lay our heads

Cons:

Took 2 hours to be able to check in because nobody was at the front desk, many people sitting and waiting not being able to check in. Microwave in the room had old food in it and did not work. Room was non smoking but smelled like straight cigarettes. Overall just not the best. We will never book here again.

PATHETIC EXCUSE FOR A BUSINESS.
Pros:

Absolutely nothing! They did not have our room ready. They had no idea when it would be ready. I was advised I would receive a full refund but did not. When a claim was filed for a refund this facility said there was no issues with my stay. COMPLETE LIES AND A SCAM!

Cons:

Rooms were not available for anyone checking in. Was advised I would receive a full refund which was a lie. SCAM
