Categories

Cleanliness
5
Mixed reports: several guests praised cleanliness ('Very clean', 'room was clean and roomy') but others reported rooms never cleaned during multi-night stays, no fresh towels, trash not emptied and general 'dirty unkept' conditions.
Service
4.5
Negative service incidents cited: rude or unhelpful front-desk interactions, check-in delays, housekeeping entering evening cleaning schedules, and a serious unaddressed incident of an unannounced person entering a guest room with no follow-up.
Location
9.5
Consistently positive: described as very convenient, right off the highway, easy to find, lots of shops and restaurants nearby and generally good parking access (though one review mentioned directional access issues).
Room Quality
6.5
Mixed: comfortable and roomy with comfy beds for many guests, but some noted older-looking building/rooms, thin walls and noise issues that detract from room quality.
Amenities
5
Mixed availability: a pool is mentioned and parking is available, but guests reported missing in-room items (no microwave/coffee), breakfast utensils shortages (no spoons) and limited in-room amenities.
Value for Money
6.4
Mixed perceptions: some guests highlighted 'great value' and good price, while others felt it was 'not worth the money' given service, breakfast and amenity shortcomings.
Food and Beverage
3.5
Frequent complaints about breakfast: limited options, cold coffee, scarce or old items (muffins), undercooked sausages, yogurt spills and lack of hot vegetarian/GLF options; some guests still appreciated that breakfast was offered.
Overall Experience
6
Overall mixed experience: several guests had satisfactory stays (clean, comfortable, good location and value), but recurring service, breakfast and housekeeping problems — and a serious safety concern reported by one guest — lowered overall satisfaction.

This is a low frills property where privacy and customer service are not valued.
Pros:

Location was easy to find with good parking. Room was clean but property design choices were questionable.

Cons:

Someone walked nto my room unannounced and management never explaining to me why a stranger had access to my room. There was no follow-up to this incident. I did not feel safe. Housekeeping cleaned rooms in the evening. I passed on having my room refreshed, since I was only there in the evenings. The walls were thin so I heard a lot of noise and talking.

Ok stay but have has better experiences
Pros:

Love location and place

Cons:

Breakfast was a joke. Coffee was Never hot. Was out of spoons so yogurt and cereal couldn’t be eaten. Guy working told us to Go to hotel next door and get spoons. Why the hell would we go get spoons when he works there and he should have done it long before anyone came for breakfast. Other items were scarce. Muffins were old as heck. Not a good breakfast at all. Also 3 am smoke detectors going off and we had to get out of bed and stand outside with ZERO EXPLANATION. Made for a long and tired day

Not worth the money. Pick a different hotel!!!
Pros:

Not much

Cons:

Well, we checked in @ 3:40. We were told we needed to wait because rooms weren't ready. Then finally once we got to the room we realized that there was no microwave or coffee in the room (standard I thought). We were not given any information about WiFi, breakfast or anything, so we went down to the desk. The lady working must have been on drugs. Then for breakfast. Not alot of options. Eggs gone, sausage gone, yogurt overflowing on the floor. Went back later, got two sausages, under cooked and gross. Lastly, if you are coming from a certain direction you cannot get into the parking lot.

good
Pros:

room was clean and roomy/comfortable.

Cons:

I asked about Gluten Free Breakfast options (GF Bagels, Nuts & Berries for the yogurt) and got no response. That would have made the breakfast more fulfilling than eggs and sausage.
