You get what you pay for
Pros:

The price was excellent. I did like that they had lots of cameras around the hotel. I can tell they spent money into the hotel but I wouldn't feel safe with my wife and daughter being there. I traveled alone so it didn't bother me as much.

Cons:

I didn't like the bed, it felt like I was sinking in it. Im not saying it wasn't clean but it appeared to be dirty looking.. The vent in the bathroom wasn't installed properly, you could look in and see the ventilation hose. I was at the point I would rather spend the extra money on another hotel. I used my military blanket to lay on.

Needs a change.
Pros:

Nothing

Cons:

Too many homeless people; trying to get in peoples cars and asking for money. Rooms were nasty. No new towels were provided. Over priced. The front desk try to charge me twice saying i didn’t paid until i pulled it up on booking app. Stairs are in bad shapes. My fiance fell down them. Door didn’t have a lock on it or shut all the way. There were cigarettes burns everywhere and hair everywhere.

Average stay but blankets could’ve been better.
Pros:

It was fine, no different from any other inn.

Cons:

The blankets were extremely thin and made of plastic. It would’ve been better to use the towels honestly.
