Cons:

Categories

Cleanliness
2
Multiple reviews describe very dirty rooms (urine in toilet, bathtub dirty), insect/ant infestations, cigarette smell and ashes, stains and cigarette burns — clearly very poor cleanliness.
Service
6.5
Mixed reports: several reviewers call staff helpful and made waffles for guests, but others report lazy or unhelpful front-desk behavior and a manager who seemed intoxicated — overall inconsistent but some positive interactions.
Location
10
Location is repeatedly noted as one of the few positives (central Belton, convenient) and cited as a main reason guests tolerated the stay; rated highly to reflect consistently positive location comments.
Room Quality
3
Rooms reported in poor condition: broken locks/doors, large door gaps, stained/stained furniture, removed security latch, and general dilapidation — room quality is notably low.
Amenities
3.5
Amenities (especially breakfast area) frequently reported as broken or dirty (waffle maker issues, broken cabinets, limited cereal options, partially frozen/curdled milk) — below standard.
Value for Money
3.5
Several guests felt the stay was not worth the price (unexpected price increase at check-in, poor condition given cost) — value judged below average.
Food and Beverage
2.5
Food and beverage repeatedly criticized: stale bread, poor fruit, broken/dirty dispensers, lack of basics (butter/cream), and generally unhygienic breakfast setup — very poor.
Overall Experience
5
Overall experience is negative for many guests (would not return, 'nightmare'), though some helpful staff and good location mitigate to a mediocre overall score.

This was a terrible stay the place was dirty staff was lazy not worth the money or a deposit they should give you a depo
Pros:

Nothing

Cons:

My room had a lot of stuff broken the bed sheets were dirty and had rolled up trash in them. The gentleman who checked me in was not helpful at all, when I checked in he didn’t get out his chair, normally this doesn’t bother me but the counter top was high so I had to reach all the way to his side of the counter to give him my card, when he gave me back my card I had to reach all the way over to try and grab it to me this was lazy and I was exhausted from a long drive

Was horrible, would never stay here again.
Pros:

The location was about the only good factor for this hotel.

Cons:

Breakfast food was horrible. Bread was so stale and hard, felt like cardboard when you touched it. Rooms smelled and needed a refresh. Didn’t really feel safe.

There were several people who were standing outside talking all night
Pros:

The location was good. Central Belton.

Cons:

Upon arrival, the door to the room was in bad shape, the interior locks were broken, there was urine in the toilet that had not been flushed, and the bathtub was dirty. The bed was fairly comfortable. The next morning, I went down for breakfast and the breakfast area was dirty and cabinets were broken and hanging open. The waffle maker was not working. The cereal dispenser was out of Raisin Bran, leaving only 2 sugary options, the milk was partially frozen/partially curdled. The juice machine had a dirty torn piece of paper hanging on it. The fresh fruit consisted of overripe bananas. My option was coffee and dry Honey Nut Cheerios. When I went back to turn in my key and get a receipt, the attendant was sitting eating breakfast with his family and the waffle machine was then working. He made me a waffle. The syrup container was nearly empty so he opened a drawer and gave me a couple of containers from IHOP!

Never the hell again..
Pros:

Initially based on the pictures listed on booking.com I was excited and ready for my staycation. It appeared to welcoming and it was 45 minutes outside the city limits.

Cons:

Where do I begin. Well it was a non smoking room smelling of cigarettes, cigarettes ashes in the chair closet to the door. Cigarette burns on the bathtub. Stains on the ceiling, chair by the door was hella stained.. Definitely not siting my self or my bag on it. Ant infested, ants living and dead in the bed, and the sink / counter by the restroom. The tub appeared to have blue hair everywhere in it., The shower curtain appeared to have shit stains on it. The door inside did not have the security latch at the top of the door appears to have been removed,, the door gap was so huge that you could see out through the bottom of the door from the inside of this room. This was an horrible experience 45 minutes outside the city. I needed a staycation after the passing of my son. I could’ve stayed at one of local drug infested motels for much cheaper than this. Not to mention I went to get the manager to show him the conditions of the room. While speaking with him he smelled of alcohol, I asked him are you drunk? Have you been drinking. I didn’t want to be charged the $200 fee for smoking in the room. I requested another room was told they were booked up!
