Categories

Cleanliness
9.2
Consistently described as very clean and fresh-smelling in many reviews; a few reports of dust on lamps/ceiling fans and dirty hallways reduce a perfect score.
Service
9.1
Staff repeatedly called polite, helpful and courteous; one instance of night staff missing a late-checkout request slightly lowers the score.
Location
9.1
Multiple mentions of convenient location, close to dining and good parking make this a strong point for guests.
Room Quality
8.6
Rooms are frequently described as comfortable, roomy and well-appointed; isolated issues include an extremely uncomfortable bed for one guest, pillow complaints, TV reset needs and a report of no hot water.
Amenities
7.9
Amenities are basic: parking and room features are fine, but breakfast offerings, seating in the breakfast area, lack of decaf coffee and occasional hot-water problems indicate limited amenity quality.
Value for Money
9
Many reviewers emphasize affordability, good pricing and excellent value—frequent praise for being a great budget option.
Food and Beverage
6.6
Breakfast is a recurring negative: described as very basic, limited, or 'not worth waking up for' by many guests; a few mentions of acceptable choices do not offset the general dissatisfaction.
Overall Experience
8.5
Overall sentiment is positive: quiet, clean property with friendly staff and good value, though some recurring issues (breakfast quality, occasional dust/maintenance) temper the experience.

Nice and clean, good accomodations.
Pros:

Very clean, adequate space, nice accomodations.

Cons:

While in our room, we could hear our neighbors talking, not necessarily loudly. We thought the breakfast was the bare minimum and could be a little more interesting. Add at least hardboiled eggs, pastries or donuts, cheerios.
