Cleanliness

Multiple reports of unclean rooms, hair and blood on sheets, strong smells of smoke/drugs and general mess in public areas — cleanliness is a clear weak point.
Service
9.5
Numerous comments praising front desk staff (Megan, Nikki, Krissi, Nickie) as friendly, helpful and supportive; service is a strong positive in reviews.
Location
8.5
Convenient freeway/airport access and proximity to local destinations noted, though some guests felt unsafe because of loitering/homeless presence near the property.
Room Quality
7.5
Rooms described as generally clean and functional for short stays by many, but some reports of rock-hard beds, noise from neighbors, and mixed upkeep.
Amenities
8
Basic amenities available (shuttle, parking, some incidentals for purchase) but lacking in-room extras like hair dryers and full kitchen supplies for extended stays.
Value for Money
7.5
Mixed perceptions: some call it great value and reasonably priced, while others felt the nightly rate was high given the facility and issues noted.
Food and Beverage
8
Breakfast/coffee praised by several guests as convenient and good for on-the-go mornings, though at least one guest called the breakfast a joke.
Overall Experience
10
Many guests reported very positive stays due to excellent staff support and convenient services; however, serious safety/cleanliness concerns from some guests are noted separately.

Pros:

The staff was very kind.

Cons:

The hotel was very run down and dirty. Our room was not very clean when we arrived and the air conditioning was very loud, going off every 5 minutes. The location of the hotel was in an unsafe part of town. Very expensive for the accommodations received.
