Mixed reports: some guests called rooms very clean, but multiple serious issues (recently flooded rooms, moldy smells, lingering carpet odors) result in below-average cleanliness.
Service

Generally praised—staff described as friendly, helpful and accommodating (Dana called out by name). However, there are isolated but significant failures (lost reservation, attempted double charge, disputed towel charges and refunds) that temper the score.
Location
9
Consistently positive: convenient for visiting NASA, close to restaurants and events; multiple reviewers highlighted the great location.
Room Quality

Mixed: some guests found rooms spacious (including 2-bedroom praise) but others reported problems—flood-damaged rooms, mold, holes in curtains, TVs missing/not working, doors not closing, and uncomfortable beds.
Amenities
6
Some useful amenities noted (convenient kitchen with appliances), but issues were reported with TVs and parking lighting; overall average amenities.
Value for Money
7.6
Often cited as good value and budget-friendly by several guests, though unexpected deposits/charges and towel disputes reduced perceived value for some.

7.8
Standard quality for this hotel tier

Polarized experiences: many positive comments about price, space and friendly staff balanced against serious negatives (mold/odors, reservation/payment problems, safety concerns) resulting in an overall mediocre-to-fair experience.

Horrible experience from start to finish.
Cons:

They couldn't find our reservation at first, tried to make us double pay, finally decided to just "give us a room", then he took us to our room and went in first to unplug an industrial carpet dryer. He had given us a room that had recently flooded and was still drying. The room smelled heavily of mold and when we told him we couldn't stay in that room he told us multiple times it was okay for us to stay in there. He finally agreed to give us another room, took us over to it, and that room had no issues other than having no TVs and the doors not closing properly but at least it wasn't recently flooded.

Horrible experience overall!
Pros:

It was close to our event.

Cons:

There was a crackhead in the parking lot during our stay that came up to me, the beds and pillows were very uncomfortable, the room smelled so bad. We were charged $87 for towels that we didn’t even use. They claimed we stole them. I don’t think they were in the room to begin with. I never really check because we always bring our own. The manager said the property owner would call me to discuss further after he rejected my request to refund me for their error but he never did.
