Categories

Cleanliness
6.2
Multiple reviews cite musty smells, mold or black caulking in bathrooms, old/dirty carpeting in hallways and rooms, and lingering odors from the A/C — cleanliness is a clear weakness.
Service
8.8
Numerous comments praise staff as friendly, lovely and helpful, with several reports of above-and-beyond hospitality.
Location
8
Several guests note a good location — close to businesses and convenient — while one noted it is a bit off the beaten path but still acceptable.
Room Quality
7.2
Rooms are described as dated and in need of updating despite comfortable beds; issues include slow-draining tubs, pet-wing proximity, and confusing layout/maze-like corridors.
Amenities
7.8
Breakfast is frequently praised and the pool is appreciated by families, but amenities have problems (vending machine down, pool lacked stairs for older guests, lobby coffee often stale or runs out).
Value for Money
8.2
Mixed signals: a complaint about high price during a busy weekend, but multiple guests explicitly say the hotel offers good value or exceeded expectations for the price.
Food and Beverage
8.4
Breakfast receives consistently positive comments (variety, quality, yogurt/self-serve); minor negatives include early-morning hot water/tea availability issues and stale lobby coffee at times.
Overall Experience
8.6
Overall impressions are generally positive with many guests willing to return; experience is tempered by cleanliness and some room-quality issues.

Expensive for homecoming weekend especially with issues described above
Pros:

Breakfast was good. Staff was lovely especially at brewkfsdt

Cons:

The property is old and my room was not updated. The air conditioning smelled terrible and I had to turn it off for the whole stay because of the smell. Tone morning o wan without hot water for a shower and the tub in the bathroom and seals all had caulking that had black underneath it all. ? Mold.. could have used a thicker bedspread or comforter. It was clean but old and needs rrplacing

Pros:

Good location. Clean rooms.
Good tasting breakfast.

Cons:

The breakfast room opened late, after 6am on a Thursday). Compounding that problem was that tea hot water was not available anywhere but in the breakfast area. I was there at 5:50am and could not get hot water. I was there again at 6:02am and it was not open. I went back at 6:10am and the room was open.
