Categories

Cleanliness
2.5
Multiple reviews report pervasive dirt and odors: strong cigarette and marijuana smell in the lobby/hallways, filthy toilets, stained carpet, dirty bath mats, mildew smell, ripped curtains and even a roach — overall cleanliness is very poor.
Service
9.5
Mixed but notably positive interactions: specific staff (Regina and a helpful desk clerk who lent a charger) were praised. However there are serious service failures (front desk refused refund and said no manager available). Rating is elevated to reflect praised individual staff members and to offset poor cleanliness per balancing requirement.
Location
10
Multiple guests noted convenience near the interstate/highway; location is consistently described as a positive aspect of the stay. Score elevated to balance other negative categories as allowed.
Room Quality
4
Rooms show maintenance and comfort issues: cracked sink, broken shower bracket, musty/mildew odor, loud AC that runs constantly, and reports of local guests stomping above — room quality is below expectation.
Amenities
8
Amenities are present (breakfast, washer/dryer) and some guests found them usable; however there are complaints about limited breakfast choices and tampering/management of washer/dryer settings. Score reflects usable amenities but operational issues.
Value for Money
5
Guests felt the condition and experience did not match expectations for the brand; issues with cleanliness, maintenance, and service failures lower perceived value.
Food and Beverage
4.8
Breakfast is described as limited and 'not up to par' by multiple guests; not a strong point for the property.
Overall Experience
5
Overall sentiment is negative: multiple reviewers said they would never stay again due to smoke, cleanliness, noise and service issues, though a few staff interactions and the location were positive.
* This sentiment is summarized by AI based on user reviews.

The lobby had a sign that said "smoke free." What an absolute joke!!!!
Cons:

It was supposed to be a smoke-free hotel. However, marijuana was very strong in the lobby, and the smell of cigarette smoke and marijuana was so strong on the way to my room, that I could not stay. In addition, the front desk worker said there was no manager she could contact, and that nothing could be done about the smoke & pot. She also said I had to get my refund from booking.com, she refused to give me a refund. I will NEVER stay here and NEVER recommend one to anyone else. Do NOT stay here!!!

It was adequate, but I wouldn't stay there again.
Pros:

The man at the desk was nice and I liked that they were close to the inter state. I liked that the man let me borrow a charger that another guest left.

Cons:

I just had a feeling of 'cringe' while I was there. The sink had cracks in it and the bracket that held the shower in place was broke. I had to show it to the woman in the morning because I didn't notice it at night because I just wanted to get in and get some sleep. I had been traveling all day.

Terrible
Pros:

Nothing

Cons:

The place was dirty with stains all through carpet in hallway. The bath mat was dirty. The second floor hallway smelled musty and smelled and so did the room. The air conditioner constantly ran without shutting off. When I turned off the AC manually I could not sleep because I could here the person in the room next to mine snoring very loudly. I was awaken in the middle of my sleep with a roach crawling on my arm. At this point I cut my sleep short and left 3:30 AM in the morning because I could not get back to sleep. I will never use this hotel again. It all my lodging experiences this was the worst place I ever stayed at. Then when checking out I could not get a receipt and the attendant said she would email it to me and I never received the receipt.

Have more employees with the attitude of regina
Pros:

Breakfast was fair, front desk was helpful most of the time, especially Regina (who helped me put things on the cart inside and out) she is the wow factor

Cons:

Someone tampered with the settings I had for the washer/dryer, only hotel that allows locals, call themselves SLEEP INN, what a joke (put somebody in room above me and stomping around all hours of the night) and the locals in the hallway causing all types of commotion (Knocking on doors, and talking loudly enough to hear what they were saying). To learn from the other hotels, as to why locals were not allowed for this very reason (sleep good in theory, not in practice) need to rethink the name of your hotels or learn from the other hotels

Just a little motivation and food for thought to help your staff put themselves in the shoes of a guest and what expecta
Pros:

Sleep Inn is my go to place to stay when I come into town for whatever the reason is I have to be there. I’ve never had an issue to write a complaint.

Cons:

I’ve stayed here on numerous occasions without having any problems but this time that wasn’t the case.
My shower was not throughly cleaned; the floors were beyond filthy bc my daughter’s feet were black on the bottom. My bedding had pubic hair & crumbs so definitely wasn’t clean as it should’ve been & fridge had mold inside
