Cheapest place to stay for a night. Not a high end place but cheap.
Pros:

Close to everything and lowest price around

Cons:

It smelled like there was a family of skunks around us, pretty sure there were a lot of people partaking in the Mary Jane.

It was decent.
Pros:

The kind lady at the front desk was wonderful. She was so kind and helpful!! The location is good. Well back off of the road and not a ton of traffic. Lots of things to do near by.

Cons:

The room smelled like mildew and the sink had mold, pillows were dirty (hair and some sort of brown spots on the pillow cases) the TV had a staticky looking picture and some channels didn’t have sound.
