Cleanliness
1.5
Multiple reviews report very dirty rooms, cat food/litter on floors, used drug packaging found, overflowing garbage, strong animal/smoke smells and rooms not vacuumed — cleanliness is very poor.
Service
6.5
Mixed reports: several guests describe rude, unhelpful front desk staff and unresolved refund/ billing issues, but a few guests reported satisfactory stays; overall service is inconsistent.
Location
3.6
Location not discussed in reviews; assigned the target overall rating.
Room Quality
4
Rooms described as run-down: falling-apart mattress, torn curtains, broken lamp and outdated furnishings, though some guests noted comfortable beds in isolated stays.
Amenities
3.8
Amenities are poorly maintained (pool described as disgusting, general property upkeep lacking); limited positive mentions to offset some complaints.
Value for Money
3.8
Guests felt they did not get good value: unexpected charges (including for a service dog), double charges, and poor condition reduce perceived value.
Food and Beverage
3.6
Breakfast service criticized (items not replenished, poor quality biscuits/gravy) though waffles were noted as good — overall below expectations.
Overall Experience
2
Overall sentiment is negative for many guests (short stays/checked out immediately, panic about cleanliness); a small number of positive stays keep this from being the absolute lowest.

Pros:

The rooms was DISGUISING I was transferred to multiple (3) rooms before deciding I’m not staying here… my kids was disgusted by the pool as we walked by and didn’t want to get in. After asking for a manager multiple times I was turned away by a short Indian lady who refuse to show her name badge or verbally give me her name. She didn’t want to give a refund and also being very rude to me and my children. I Called multiple times to speak with manager after bring told manager is unavailable. I still haven’t received refund or manager response. Hotel should get get 0 stars 1 was minimum. Hotel smells so bad of animals and smoke. Wouldn’t recommend.

Pros:

The room was clean and the beds were comfortable. The lamp on the nightstand didn't work and the curtains were torn. Breakfast was from 6am to 8:30am. Well, they tried to refuse making more sausages. We complained because you're supposed to keep replacing what's run out until breakfast time is over. The waffles were good. The biscuits were hard and the gravy was watered down way too much. Overall the stay was good for a nights rest.

Better than a motel, I guess.
Pros:

Bathroom was not clean at all. Old used soap in the tub and empty water bottles behind the bed. Breakfast was very lackluster and the service was very poor.

Don’t stay here
Pros:

BEWARE. From having to wait 15 minutes to be checked-in, to the disgusting conditions… our stay was 30 minutes long. We checked-in, hauled all of our luggage to our room (without trying to touch anything with it), saw how dirty our room was, booked another room at a different hotel, and checked back out. Even that was too long of a stay. The only clean thing our room had was bedding, maybe. We were too afraid to check. There was cat food and litter on the floor in the bathroom. Cat food on the carpet by the beds. The room didn’t see a vacuum. The chairs were nasty. I sat down but only because I was having a panic attack. I knew I couldn’t get a refund, and I didn’t have the money to spend on another hotel, but there was no chance we were sleeping there. My 9 year old daughter said she’d sleep in the car instead. I’m by no means a clean-freak, and this place sent me into a panic. It needs to be closed down and a sanitizer bomb needs to be sent off in there. I spent part of my rent on another hotel and I’m so glad that I did.

Don’t stay here!
Pros:

Honestly don’t stay here from lack of communication from check in (didn’t tell us when breakfast is and didn’t inform us the pool was closed)

The room was super musty smelling and the door didn’t shut properly and grip bar was falling off the wall in the shower

The only nice thing was the bed

Honestly I would not stay here again or recommend it to anyone

Pros:

It is dirty, and stained up.....fitness area items didn't work, the pool looks nasty. There is a nasty musty smell when heat was turned on and the room kept that smell. We are only staying one night, but we won't be returning to this hotel. It's probably the worst hotel we have stayed in.

Pros:

I questioned the exaggerated amount that was held on my card. I was told at the front desk that they held an additional night plus a deposit. In addition, I would receive both amounts back on Monday. On Monday, I received the extra nights charge but never received the additional deposit. It is impossible to get through to the hotel or anyone that can help. When I checked out of the hotel there was a couple arguing with the person working the front desk for this same reason. It appears this may be common scam here to take additional funds off customers cards and not return it!!! This is all in addition to the room being dirty, the sheet would not stay on the dirty unstable bed, and the water in both the shower and sink would not stop leaking.
