Terribly Filthy, I want a refund.
Cons:

I understand a Motel isn't a luxury experience but this place was dirty and I felt uncomfortable during my staying because of that. There was mold, hair from previous guests, just disgusting. I want my money back.

Terribile
Pros:

Assolutamente niente

Cons:

Bagno sporco, con secchio sotto al lavandino perché aveva una perdita. Cassetteria rotta. Sporcizia ovunque. Coperte sporche, unte e macchiate. Lenzuola con i peli degli ex ospiti. Terribile.

Front Desk lied about booking.
Pros:

Nothing as I did not stay there.

Cons:

I booked a non-smoking room but was told on my arrival I had booked and was put in a smoking room. They stated they were fully booked and would try and move me the second night if possible. The paperwork I had said non-smoking. This would have been known to the hotel. I did not stay there as the smoking room smelt like that and could not stay any night in such a smelling room. When booking.com looked into this, my money was refunded immediately.

Не йдіть сюди!! Уникайте. Краще переночувати у наметі
Pros:

Практично нічого

Cons:

Тотальний жах😡.. Всюди брудно! Номер смердючий. Стеля у плісняві! Пліснява у ванні така сильна, що аж капає з неї🤬. Напору води не має! Стіни брудні, вікна у пилюці!! Чиста лише була постільна білизна, і навіть там буде декілька жіночих чорних волосин! Я розумію що це економ. Але , за 100 доларів я завжди жив як мінімум у нормальних санітарних умовах!! А тут просто жах😫 з порушенням санітарно-гігієнічних норм напевно!!

Cons:

This was a very disappointing stay. The bed had bed bugs, which made it impossible to sleep comfortably. The bathroom door was broken and hanging off on one side, but it was never repaired. The ceiling was damaged, covered in black stains, and looked dirty and poorly maintained. On top of that, the TV would not turn on at all.

Overall, the room was in unacceptable condition, and I would not recommend staying here.
