Pros:

Low budget hotel but completely fine. The bed was comfortable. The fan in the room removed street noise. Our room contained a full size fridge and a small stove and microwave. Everything worked perfectly.

Cons:

If you drive north past the hotel on the frontage road the road becomes only one way north and you have to do a loop out and around back to the hotel. Also very limited food options in the area. Most are on the other side of the highway.

Disappointing and felt very gross.
Cons:

It could have been way cleaner, the walls looked dirty, and the bathroom wasn’t cleaned very well (shaved hair in and around the sink). The staircase smelled entirely of urine (I had to hold my breath), the office like cigarets and our room had an odd oder as well. We stayed in a deluxe suite but had a view of nothing but a wall and our room was 10feet away from the highway, the door didn’t seal fully so we could hear the highway loudly the whole time. We paid extra for the jacuzzi tub that we didn’t use out of fear it was unsanitary.

Pros:

The heater worked well.

Cons:

I wiped a tissue on one space of the floor, and it was so brown!! The outside of the door was filthy. The sheets were thin and old. The furniture was marked and old. The bathtub was not clean. Perhaps because it was so old, the grime would not come out easily. I didn't shower because I didn't trust the towels to have been washed properly.

Rip off of money that prey on hidden fees to try to get more money.
Pros:

There was no breakfast.

Cons:

Ants in the motel, suddenly charge us 6x more for our dogs than originally told us. Put us into a dirty room at first, then put us into their only handicap room taking it away from disabled people.
