Pros. Breakfast was just very basic like a donut coffee type deal. I like the fact the door had a lock and that's about it.

Cons. Everything could of been better. The room is very outdated with a lot of things being broken. The shower rod was broken as well as the vent on the ac unit. The ac unit was very old and dirty. The sheets on the bed were yellowish, which I assume it's from a smoking room.

Pros. Nothing

Cons. Room was filthy, smelled of mold, wall paper pealing, carpet sticky and damp. dead roach on sink counter, Window AC healed in with duct tape. Someone smoking pot in the door of the room next to ours, offered to sell me some. Parking lot was dark, the only lights around were at the office. Left after 5 minutes and went to another hotel. Still charged me for a night. In my opinion not fit for human habitation. Kayak should be ashamed to have this hotel on it's site.

Pros. Price was fair, but you get exactly what you pay for. If you need a cheap place to crash, bring earplugs and a concealed handgun!

Cons. The prostitutes working out of room 144! Cars were in and out all night! I Believe this hotels best days were 15 years ago. Spend $30 more dollars a night and stay somewhere better!
