Cleanliness
5.5
Mixed reports: several guests said rooms were clean but others reported a dirty public bathroom, stains in rooms, and pool paint causing dirt — overall slightly below average cleanliness.
Service
7.5
Generally positive front-desk experiences: multiple mentions of friendly, helpful and attentive staff, though some service failures (slow resolution of hot water issue, reported overcharging) reduce the score slightly.
Location
7.8
Frequently praised: close to the highway, easy on/off access and convenient for travelers — a clear strength for this property.
Room Quality
5.8
Mixed room quality: some guests found rooms comfortable and clean, while others noted stains, rundown furnishings, non-working remotes and odd/poor furniture — slightly below average room quality.
Amenities
5
Amenities are inconsistent: breakfast, laundry and a pool are available, but the pool is small/shallow, hot tub often out of order and no fitness room — amenities are limited for some travelers.
Value for Money
4.8
Perceived as poor value by several guests: complaints about price relative to quality, unexpected extra charges and being 'not worth the money' lower this score.

Breakfast is basic but serviceable: waffles, cereal, fruit and toast available; some guests disliked the quality (cold cereal) while others found it satisfactory.
Overall Experience

Nice for what we needed it for
Pros:

We had to leave earlier before breakfast so could not judge this. The location was fine, easy on and easy off off the freeway.

Cons:

We thought the hot water wasn't working and complained twice before someone checked into it only to find out the controls were backwards.

Scammers
Pros:

Really close to the highway

Cons:

Booked 2 double queen rooms… they only have 5 rooms with double beds and they decided that when I got there that it would cost an extra $50 a room
