Cleanliness
7.2
Mixed cleanliness: several guests praised fresh linens and overall cleanliness, but multiple reports of stained carpets, mold in bathroom, bugs in room, a smell in one room and a hair found at breakfast indicate recurring issues.
Service
9
Staff repeatedly described as extremely nice, friendly and attentive; front desk staff noted as helpful. Some isolated service problems (slow check-in, refusal to provide a receipt, towel shortfall) but overall service sentiment is strongly positive.
Location
8.8
Location rated positively — described as near amenities and 'good location' by multiple reviewers.
Room Quality
7.6
Comfortable beds and generally clean rooms reported by several guests, but issues with stained carpets, dripping showers, noise from hallways/other rooms, and isolated reports of bugs/mold lower the room quality score.
Amenities
8.6
Pool is frequently praised (warm/pleasant), breakfast areas well stocked; however missing in-room items (no coffee maker/microwave), no patio, and lack of outlets in the pool area are noted drawbacks.
Value for Money
7.7
Mixed value perception: some guests called it good value, but several explicitly said the nightly rate was high or should be cheaper, pulling the score below target.
Food and Beverage
8.5
Breakfast generally receives positive remarks (well executed, well stocked), though there are occasional hygiene complaints (a hair found in breakfast) that slightly reduce the score.
Overall Experience
8.2
Overall mixed-positive experience: friendly staff, comfortable beds and good location/pool balance out cleanliness and minor service/amenity issues for an overall rating in line with the target.
