Categories

Cleanliness
6.5
Multiple guests reported stains (mattress/tub/sink), debris under furniture and a generally tired appearance despite some saying rooms were "pretty clean overall" — cleanliness is a clear weakness.
Service
9.2
Consistently praised: front desk and staff described as friendly, helpful and quick to accommodate requests; staff responsiveness is a strong point.
Location
9.2
Repeatedly noted as excellent — convenient, right off I‑81, easy on/off the highway and close to dining options; location is a major positive.
Room Quality
8.6
Mixed: some rooms/suites (jetted tub, comfortable bedding) were praised, while others felt old/tired with issues (scratched tub floor, slow-to-cool AC). Overall above average but variable.
Amenities
8.6
Amenities have positives (suite jetted tub, breakfast offerings) but some negatives (pool closes early); generally good but with room for small improvements.
Value for Money
8.3
One mention of cost as a con, but many guests found the stay convenient and satisfactory given location and service — value sits slightly above average to balance mixed cost perceptions.
Food and Beverage
8
Breakfast received mixed feedback: several guests called it good/varied, others said it was not very good — overall slightly below other strengths.
Overall Experience
8.8
Overall positive experience driven by location and service, tempered by cleanliness and occasional room issues; guests often return or would consider coming back.

Pros:

Location was great, right off I81. Front desk staff was friendly and helpful.

Cons:

The property felt old and tired, but the room was clean overall. There was what looked like a small blood stain on the mattress cover which i could see through the sheet which was kind of gross. Tub and sink were stained. But again, it was pretty clean.

Okay Stay
Pros:

Great location but in need of some TLC.
The room was hot when we entered, AC had been turned off & it took a very long time for it to finally cool down. Around 8+ hours!
The location of the elevator in relation to check in is very counter intuitive. Down at the complete opposite of check in, walking thru a (dimly lit) hallway.
The tub floor in our room was gross. It looks like a pet had been in it and scratched it up. SMH.
The location is great. Room was quiet enough, satisfactory once it cooled down, breakfast was typical, fresh coffee is a favorite.
Doubt we would choose this property again unless renovated.

Pros:

Clean and area with food choices

Cons:

We are handicap and they put us in furthest room from front. We had 2 exceptionally long halls all the way to end of bldg. We had to stop about 4 times to make it to room. Would not give us close room
Said with booking that was only room we could have. I can't book thru booking anymore because of that
