Amazing price, but needs update

We stayed on a friday night and were amazed on the price, but the pictures look fine and location was the only closest available. Our room was located in a building across the street (far from pool and lobby where they served breakfast) with an automated door gate, on third floor very far from the elevator, so we used stairs every time. It had an old kitchenette, which we do not use, but a new fridge that was very helpful. Room looked clean but had an unpleasant odor in the kitchen area, like if it was a smoking permitted room, when it was not. Beds clean and comfortable.

gated lot, which is good but a pain.

Appeared to be some prostitution going on there as the "watchful" and paranoid "pimp" stayed on balcony smoking his funny stuff pretty much all night and all day long. Otherwise, a reasonably priced and generally a comfortable place to stay.

Very seedy hotel located in a bad area STAY AWAY.

Pros: Nothing
Cons: The area there has declined so the only option is better security, and staff who understands.
Clearly a weekly hotel and not even close to Howard Johnson's standards. We checked in and went to the room. Two room "suite" they called it but it was updated by painting the cabinets and putting in carpet. Immediately went back to the office and said we wanted another room because this was had it's back to the street and people were talking and playing music outside. I was told they were sold out but Travelocity website said rooms available. I went back to the room and my wife plain and simple stated she did not feel safe here. I went back to the office again and was told no other rooms so I explained we would not be staying. He told me they were going to charge for the night anyway, I explained I am not staying and packed up. I went to the front and gave my key back and he said now he had a room. I explained due to the hotels location and people outside my window, and windows that did not lock, I was leaving. He ended up charging me for a night anyway.
