Multiple reviews report strong musty/mildew smells, mold in bathroom/carpet, stained and dirty floors, and at least one guest finding a bug in the room — clear cleanliness issues.

8.5
Several guests reported fast, friendly check-in and helpful staff; however, there are isolated reports of staff not addressing a bug complaint and one unfriendly staff interaction.
Location
9.5
Consistently described as centralized, safe and convenient for the area with close restaurants, gas station and stores; location is a clear positive.
Room Quality
5.5
Mixed reports: working refrigerators and cold AC noted, but complaints about bed comfort/creaking, sheets coming off, broken blow dryer, and overall dated rooms.
Amenities
6.5
Pool area is generally maintained and clean, but pool hours/chlorination policy upset guests; limited complimentary amenities and restricted towel policy noted.
Value for Money
7
Seen as basic and budget-oriented; acceptable for short, purpose-driven stays by some guests, though many feel offerings (breakfast, room quality) are limited for the price.
Food and Beverage
4
Breakfast repeatedly described as minimal (waffle maker, limited cereals, prewrapped items) with no hot offerings and no in-room coffee maker — overall poor F&B experience.
Overall Experience
7.5
Overall mixed: while location and some service aspects are appreciated and a few guests returned, pervasive cleanliness and limited amenities reduced overall satisfaction.

My stay was disappointing due to thin walls, a bug in my room that staff failed to address, and the lack of complimentar
Pros:

Honestly, there wasn’t much I liked about the property. The walls were thin, so noise carried between rooms, making it difficult to enjoy a quiet stay. I also found a bug in my room, which raised concerns about cleanliness. Overall, the experience could have been much better, especially when it comes to soundproofing and room cleanliness.

Cons:

I didn’t like that I found a bug in my room and the staff didn’t do anything to address the issue. That was unacceptable and raised concerns about the cleanliness of the property. The walls were also thin, making it easy to hear noise from other rooms. On top of that, there was no complimentary breakfast, which would have been a nice amenity to have. Overall, the customer service and accommodations fell short of expectations.

Cons:

The entire building smelled musty and when attempting to use the pool around 11am we were told it wouldn’t be open until 3 pm due to chlorine. I’m not sure why you wouldn’t chlorinate during the closed pool hours so guests can use the pool during the open pool hours.

Pros:

The location seemed centralized and the AC unit stayed cold.

Cons:

Upon arrival when I walked into the room they had a very strong musty smell like the carpet had gotten wet and left that way the floors were absolutely disgusting it had residue all over the floor there was mold in the bathroom it smells like marijuana in the hallways the breakfast was narrowed down to cereal in a waffle not much of any other options and when I asked for extra towels at the front desk they would only give me a limited supply even though I asked for three and only received one.

We stayed here last year for same purpose so we knew to expect nothing fantastic.
Pros:

Area is safe and convenient for why we're in the area. Close restaurants, gas station & dollar store. Rooms were clean and pool area was maintained. Room refrigerator was working good and our trash was removed and towels replaced before we came back for our second night.

Cons:

Not much of a breakfast unless you like waffles and prewrapped honey buns and oatmeal cream pies. No hot offerings other than one wafflemaker. 2 types of cold cereal, yogurt, 2-prewrapped junk foods (honeybun & oatmeal creampie),sliced bread for toast, milk for cereal, orange juice machine, coffee carafe. No coffee maker in room. Beds were not straightened when we returned for our second night.
