Cleanliness
4
Multiple reports of dirty rooms, blood in freezer, smoke smell, dusty rooms and dirty-looking towels; cleanliness is a clear weakness.
Service
9.5
Several guests praised helpful, accommodating staff and easy check-in; positive interactions with manager/owner were commonly noted.
Location
8
Mixed signals: some guests found it conveniently located and 'minutes from everything', while others reported misleading photos/address and an uninviting surrounding; overall still convenient for many.
Room Quality
6
Rooms are dated and run-down for some guests (old decor, odd paint choices, TV not working, thin walls, slippery shower), though beds were described as comfortable by some.
Amenities
7.5
Limited amenities (no breakfast for many, basic vending machines available); some missing in-room items reported but basic services were functional.
Value for Money
9.5
Several reviews called it budget friendly or great price and easy to book last-minute; value seen as a strength despite some complaints about condition.
Food and Beverage
7
No substantial food offering or breakfast for many guests; one guest wished for a light breakfast option, so this is modestly positive but limited.
Overall Experience
6.1
Mixed overall: some guests found it adequate, quiet and affordable with helpful staff, while others reported severe cleanliness and safety concerns; overall experience skews below target due to safety/cleanliness issues.

Horrible
Pros:

Nothing

Cons:

Property was not as pictured. Dirty rooms. Blood in the freezer that smelt like fish. Drug addicts in the parking lot and hallways. Active drug use. My children witnessed all this. Not suitable for anyone little lone children. After research Pedophiles have residents here. Place is very run down and out dated. TV didn't work. Manager was very rude and unprofessional. Very expensive compared to other places in the area. People where rolling dice in the parking lot with Crack rocks in their hands

Place was old and dingy.
Pros:

No breakfast

Cons:

Very misleading. Picture on booking.com was not the place where we stayed. Picture showed 2 floors this was all 1 floor. Address of place brought us to deserted property. This place was another 1/4 mile down the road. Luckily we didn’t turn around.

Pros:

Although this hotel claims to be non-smoking it smells terribly of smoke. My son’s eyes were red and my throat was burning. Do not stay here if you are bothered by smoke. I wouldn’t stay there again if they paid me to.

It was an adequate place to stay in a pinch.
Pros:

It had an opening at a late date. The bed was comfortable.

Cons:

Dangerously slippery shower floor, wimpy towels, no place to hang towels near sink, no body lotion, had to ask for Kleenex and bath mat, room not made up when we returned from the day out.

Wow...the choice of paint colors was very odd. Towels were laundered, but dirty looking. Otherwise it was clean enough.

Quiet & Clean
Pros:

The hotel is very clean! The owner was super nice and accommodating. My only complaint was my debit card would not work on the terminal, this caused stress for me and a delay in checking in. I then had to use the ATM in the front to get the cash which cost me an extra $5. Not happy about that

Low income housing place.
Pros:

We got to this hotel and it was pretty evident it was low income housing. Shopping cart abandoned out front. The people living there all huddled by the door smoking cigarettes. All of the hotel rooms have doors that you open from the parking lot so we truly didn’t feel safe to even try to stay. This should be disclosed to families. Not sure why the hotel says “great for kids” I can’t even speak for the rooms because we paid for 1 night, got to the parking lot, and decided absolutely not and booked another hotel somewhere else. Maybe the stay would have been fine. Maybe the rooms are fine. Not worth it for my family.

Well worth a stay
Pros:

Great price and check-in was easy. The room was clean, the bed was comfortable and it was very quiet. They have vending machines. Minutes from everything. I wish they had a light breakfast such as bagels.
