Cleanliness
8
Mixed reports: several guests noted clean rooms and comfortable beds, but others reported spotted carpets, rust/film in showers and cigarette smell — overall slightly below the hotel tier standard.
Service
9.6
Generally praised: multiple comments about friendly, helpful staff (including specific praise for Alison) and easy check-in; a minor complaint about complimentary water policy did not dominate sentiment.
Location
9.2
Convenient and easy access to the freeway was repeatedly mentioned as a positive; one reviewer noted proximity to a freeway on-ramp as a downside (possible noise).
Room Quality
8.8
Mostly comfortable rooms and beds reported, but some stays noted worn elements (carpet spots, paint chipping, shower rust) and on occasion very poor bed condition — overall slightly above average for this property.
Amenities
8.7
Standard quality for this hotel tier; amenities were not consistently described in reviews (one guest mentioned wanting a pool), so assigned the target rating.
Value for Money
6.3
Several guests felt the property was overpriced (explicit comment that it wasn't worth the quoted rate and comparisons to lower-cost properties that were better maintained).
Food and Beverage
9
Breakfast received mixed feedback — described as 'nice' by some but 'didn't meet par' or 'wasn't the best' by others. Overall sentiment leans positive but inconsistent across stays.
Overall Experience
10
Despite property wear and some inconsistent F&B, multiple guests highlighted cleanliness on many stays, comfortable beds, convenient location and notably friendly/helpful staff; overall stays skew positive for many return visitors.

Tired property not up to Hampton in quality and not worth $250 a night.
Pros:

Check in/out was easy.

Cons:

Property is tired. Carpets in hallways very spotted. Rust and crud in shower door corners. Paint chipping wher housekeeping carts hit. Parking lot has many cracks. We have stayed in Motel 6 property at half the cost that we’re better maintained.
