Categories

Cleanliness
3.5
Multiple reviews report bad cleanliness: rooms smelled of urine/dog, used soap in bathroom, roaches reported and general dirtiness; cleanliness is a clear negative across stays.
Service
10
Mixed but generally positive front-desk interactions noted: several guests described staff as kind, professional and helpful and staff attempted to address issues; however there are repeated complaints about pet charges/deposits despite paperwork. Overall staff responsiveness is the strongest relative aspect in reviews.
Location
10
Consistently mentioned as convenient, close to the interstate and quiet; multiple guests cited location as a primary pro.
Room Quality
3.8
Rooms reported with significant issues: bed uncomfortable/hard, TV/AC/locks malfunctioning, missing kitchen sink, odor problems and some reports of roaches—room quality is below expectation.
Amenities
4.2
Amenities lacking or problematic: no breakfast/coffee for guests, missing phone in some rooms, kitchen amenities incomplete (missing sink), and general outside/outdated property furniture noted.
Value for Money
4.4
Multiple guests complained about unexpected pet fees/deposits (some charged $20–$30 and had deposits retained), combined with cleanliness and room issues, resulting in poor perceived value.
Food and Beverage
4.5
Frequently reported absence of breakfast/coffee and no on-site F&B offerings mentioned; this area is underwhelming for guests.
Overall Experience
6
Mixed overall: location and helpful staff are positives, but pervasive cleanliness, room-quality problems, unexpected pet fees/deposits and limited amenities produced an overall mediocre-to-poor stay for many guests.

It was very uncomfortable did not get any sleep because of the bed
Pros:

It was a good location

Cons:

The bed was terrible. You put a queen size bed on a double frame which did not fit you sit on the edge of the bed and you would fall off because it hung over that much.

couldn't sleep at all on that horrible bed!!!
Cons:

The walls of the room had not been painted completely. the bed was flimsy and very lumpy. it made a strange metallic noise when I got on and off of it. the pillows felt like bags of rags filled so full you couldn't lay your head on them.

AVOID AT ALL COSTS - Biohazard, Cockroaches, and Stolen Money!
Pros:

Absolutely nothing. Leaving after the first night was the only good part.

Cons:

This property should be removed from Booking.com immediately. The room was infested with cockroaches that climbed on the beds. The walls had stains that looked like feces, the bathroom was covered in black mold, and the sheets were completely unwashed. The hygiene was so horrific that my wife contracted a severe fungal infection from the bathroom, requiring medical treatment. We had to flee after the first night for our own safety.

The hotel staff verbally agreed to refund our $342 for the remaining unstayed nights, but now they are refusing to pay, penalizing us for leaving their uninhabitable room. Booking.com customer service has been completely unhelpful, keeping us on hold for hours and siding with the negligent hotel. Do not book this place, you will lose your money and risk your health.
