We drove from Lagrange Ga to Panama City Beach to be told our room AND ONLY our room was closed due to some inconvenience that couldn’t be repaired leaving us to find a room at short notice with no options from the hotel staff member.

It was a cheap stay, no bugs or thieves.
Pros:

There was no breakfast, but the location was good in terms of reaching establishments that were the reason for the trip. The pool was pretty good, but not great. The person at the front desk was prompt opening the security door.

Cons:

There was no sense of safety. At one point, I felt like someone was going to come through the door just by knocking. There are stains everywhere, the bathtub was cracked, and the "full kitchenette" I booked was a mini fridge and microwave set in the TV stand instead of the stove, counters, full fridge, and sink.

You get what you pay for
Pros:

Cheap and convenient

Cons:

When I booked through the booking app, I chose the double split room with kitchen but upon arrival I was told those rooms were already gone. When entering the room that was given to us, I flipped on the light and immediately seen a cockroach on the window. The pool was disgustingly dirty with band aides and hair nets floating in it. While getting drinks from the vending machine I was offered some drugs for sale
