Pros:

I liked the location because it close to everything.

Cons:

Our room smelled like mold and it was musty, the bathroom light didn't work half the time, you couldn't log into the wifi because it was unavailable and the DirecTV was out. I went to the front office and told Nikki that we couldn't get anything on the TV and all I was told was that there is 42 channels and sometimes you get them all and sometimes you only get two and they were trying to find another provider. There were also roaches crawling in the room as well. This is the worst experience we have ever had with a hotel and we will never stay here again.

It was very disgusting in my Room
Pros:

It was convenient

Cons:

My room was very nasty there was mold on the walls from too much moisture in the room the covers felt like they were wet and it was uncomfortable trying to sleep because of all the moisture you'll be sweating up under the covers but it's cold in the room but it's the moisture up under the cover. And sauce a couple roaches had to kill them in the room but besides that the room was just very disgusting and uncomfortable everything looked and felt nasty

I would spend the extra couple bucks to stay somewhere else .. and that is coming from someone who grew up with nothing.
Pros:

The front desk lady was very kind at first

Cons:

The shower had no water pressure and almost completely cut off ( trickled) when you turned it to hot instead of cold . The light switch did not work in our bathroom, unless you flickered several times, and even then would not come on.
