Pros +
- Nothing

- The bedding seemed to have been washed and the AC worked. .
Cons -
- Old, dated, broken, stinky. Way over priced. No assigned parking in a very small lot. Terrible location to stay, homeless and drug addicts everywhere. If it wasn't for the staff trying to be accommodating we would have left for another motel/hotel.
