Categories

Cleanliness
7
Many guests report clean rooms and outstanding housekeeping, but there are also complaints (hallway mold smell, outside of property run down, at least one report of possible bed-bug bites), so cleanliness is mixed.
Service
7.5
Service is mixed: several comments praise friendly, helpful staff and good check-in experiences, while multiple guests report staff that made them feel unwelcome or were not helpful near the end of stays.
Location
8.5
Location is frequently praised—close to restaurants, shopping and Six Flags and convenient for overnight stays and local amenities.
Room Quality
7
Rooms are often described as clean and comfortable, but there are recurring issues (noise from machinery, smells of smoke/weed, inability to open windows, missing towels, and some reports about bed-size misrepresentation).
Amenities
7.5
Amenities like the indoor pool, hot tub and pet-friendly policy are commonly praised, though some operational issues are noted (small breakfast area, towel shortages, inability to extend stay smoothly).
Value for Money
7.5
Price is frequently mentioned positively and seen as a main benefit, but a few guests felt the property reflected a 'you get what you pay for' expectation, so value is above average but not exceptional.
Food and Beverage
7.5
Breakfast/hot buffet is repeatedly praised and described as a highlight, though there are complaints about a small breakfast area, running out of coffee, and occasional poor breakfast quality.
Overall Experience
7.5
Many guests report enjoyable stays with good service, breakfast and pool access, but significant negatives (staff treatment incidents, cleanliness concerns, noise, and a bed-bug concern) make the overall experience uneven.

One and done place
Pros:

I liked the price. There was a nice selection of eateries around the hotel. The pool was nice, but they kept the windows open, so it was kind of cool.

Cons:

The outside of the property was kind of dirty and run down a bit. The overall vibe was, "I got what I paid for." I don't think that I would stay there again.

Pros:

Room was clean & comfortable

Cons:

Could hear some machine noise going for a long time. Not a vacuum & didn't sound like a washing machine but it was quieter at night anyway.
