Pros:

There was not much to like.

Cons:

The first thing that I noticed upon arrival were the homeless people hanging out by the entrances. In fact, there are no security precautions.
Anyone can walk in all the way to the rooms, no key card needed. My room door also didn't close well, had to make sure I pulled it shut. And then I noticed the sign in room recommending to double lock door for safety.

The hallway carpet on the third floor smelled terrible, smell never disappeared.
Also the location was much further from downtown than expected. Very expensive to use ride share. Definitely would not stay here again.

ghetto atmosphere, scary bringing my child to and from the motel. slummy crowd, outdated facilities, did not want to shower in the bathroom. disappointed we booked at this type of facility. will not return. it was way worse than the pictures online looked. i should have known we'd get what we paid for.

Pros:

Nothing

Cons:

We arrived we're giving keys and then had the keys taken back so that they could check to make sure the room was clean, came back with a no set of keys and a new room number. The new room had a broken latch you couldn't even lock the door from the inside of the room if someone had a key they could just come in so we didn't even stay this two nights we left after the first night. Then the entire entrances are crowded by residents that are living at the hotel not just staying at the hotel, there are people sitting outside the glass windows of the pool area smoking bongs while watching your children swim, also while swimming there's windows by the lobby where there were multiple people just pressed against staring. Was advertised to have a breakfast they don't serve breakfast, they didn't even have a housekeeper it was just the front desk attendant.
