Inside vs. Outside
It depends what is more important to you in a hotel: the inside of the room, or the outside surroundings of the hotel.
We'll start with the bad. I'm pretty sure this hotel is in an extremely rough area. A woman who I'm almost positive was a prostitute on the street corner, police in the hotel parking lot one morning searching an individual, suspect individuals walking around at virtually all times of night (the door access is on the outside, vs. the inside of the hotel, so you can pretty easily hear everyone outside), etc. The pool was decent- it was clean, but was often full of unsupervised and LOUD teenagers and kids and our room was directly across from the pool. Needless to say, the hotel has a noise problem (among other things).
However, the inside of the room was nice. Much nicer than expected. The bed was comfortable (actually, really comfortable!), the pillows were awesome, it was clean, flat screen TV with movie channels, free WiFi, etc. 
In terms of location- although I still think it's an awful area, it is convenient. It's right off the freeway (so, easy access to virtually anywhere), there's a few restaurants nearby (Cracker Barrel is literally right next store, etc), and the airport is very close as well.
Overall, for the price, not bad. Like I said, it depends what's more important to you- inside, or outside.
