Nothing.
Did not feel safe at all. I could see under the door to the outside of the hotel. And my camera was taken by someone.

This was the worst hotel I have ever stayed at. I left my camera in the hotel after I check out and called about and hour later and got no help in trying to get it back. I could see outside of the hotel through the bottom of the door. I felt completely unsafe!

Location.
Dirty and not maintained. Hard to believe the franchise does not have specific standards regarding upkeep.

The first room I was given was revolting. Holes in the bedspread, broken toilet seat, bad odor, stairs and corridors were dirty and not maintained. Asked for another and it was almost as bad. Considered driving home that evening.

The location was convenient.
The room was dirty and the lobby was really hot, had an unpleasant smell and the TV was up so loud it physically bothered my ears.

The room was dirty, especially the bathtub, and the lobby was even worse. The lobby smelled like melting plastic and was about 90 degrees. The TV was on full blast on a political talk show where the people were arguing with each other. It was not comfortable.

The pool was close to my room.
Friendly staff and remodel the room, it it super old.

It was hard to get to it, you have to drive all the way to the u turn on the highway and coming back all the same way. The hotel is old and it needs a lot of improvements.

Everything was just fine for the price. Everything worked, was comfortable, and clean. The location is close to everything but requires a u-turn not that much of a hassle. All in all, I would stay there again.

The place was a dump and it smelled.

It should not have even been rated a 2 star. It was very old and smelled.
