Cleanliness
2.5
Multiple reviewers described rooms as 'disgusting' or 'not clean', with musty smells and visibly unkept bathrooms — clear and repeated cleanliness issues.
Service
8.5
Mixed but often positive: several guests called staff pleasant/outstanding and helpful, though isolated reports note unprofessional or unhelpful front-desk interactions.
Location
9.5
Consistently praised: great location, easy freeway access, many food/options nearby and convenient placement for attendees.
Room Quality
6
Mixed: some comfort (beds, acceptable for price) but numerous maintenance complaints — broken fixtures, defective remotes, stuck doors, hard beds, noisy AC and possible water damage/mold.
Amenities
8
Functional but inconsistent: free breakfast and wifi noted, nearby food options and easy access; however elevators often out of service and occasional slow/dated front-desk systems.
Value for Money
8
Generally seen as good value by several guests (good price/expectation), though a few felt stay was below expectations for the price.
Food and Beverage
3.5
Poor: breakfast repeatedly criticized for very limited selection (no jelly/decaf) and in some cases access was locked, leading to strong negative sentiment about F&B.
Overall Experience
7.6
Overall mixed: strong positives for location, price and some staff interactions offset by serious cleanliness and maintenance issues; acceptable for those prioritizing location/price but problematic for cleanliness-sensitive guests.

Staff was not friendly or welcoming.

Disappointed, disgusting, unkept, destroyed.
Pros:

I don’t like anything about this hotel aside from the general location where it is placed. Anything you could ever want is around you- even better hotels to stay at.

Cons:

The hotel itself may not be terrible, but the cleanliness of the room was absolutely disgusting. The front desk assistant was completely useless. I was told every single room was booked and moving rooms was not a solution. I then demanded a refund and was again told he couldn’t access my payment information through Booking. I called Booking with 0 help, as well as from the hotels cooperate number. I was then informed when checking out that an alternate room was not provided as it was a local universities homecoming and the owner “books up all the rooms” so no one can move rooms or make adjustments. Overall was a horrible trip when it comes to this facility and I would NEVER recommend for anyone.

Horrible stay. Will never stay here again.
Pros:

The breakfast selection was terrible. The worst selection I’ve ever been offered at a hotel. There was no jelly for the toast, and no decaf tea. That is all my grandmother ever eats for breakfast. The location was good.

Cons:

The breakfast was terrible. The room had a musty smell, the room door stuck and was almost impossible to get it to open. The staff was very unprofessional- swearing while checking us in and asked me to marry him. The light in the bathroom was constantly flickering. Will never stay here again.

Good enough
Cons:

The tub made noises when you moved in the shower. It felt like their was nothing solid under the floor. The sink surround was to big for the bathroom. It made sitting on the toilet uncomfortable

Very disappointing. We should have just drove home
Pros:

Location

Cons:

We were put on the 3rd floor, elevators down. So after an all day event we had to take the stairs to the third floor. The fan on the ac didn’t work so it was a constant on and off all night. They claim the rooms are sound proof. It is definitely not. We heard EVERYTHING all night. The bed was hard. The lights and outlets on the left side of the bed didn’t work.

Staff is outstanding but facilities are what you pay for.
Pros:

Great location for purpose of stay. Easy access off freeway. Food options around property are good. both members of staff that I interacted with were pleasant and helpful.

Cons:

I’ve stayed at the property multiple times this year, and the elevator has only worked once. The ceiling of the room that I was staying with more than likely had water damage or possibly mold. And the shower had a constant drip.

Perfectly acceptable for what I expected
Pros:

Great price, great location, friendly staff, great wifi, got to enjoy free breakfast lol

Cons:

Elevator was broken when I went, computers were very slow so there was an issue checking me in, and my key card stopped working the second day so I had to get a replacement. Also pretty sure there were some people fenty folding outside the night I checked in.

Disappointed
Pros:

Location, staff very friendly and pleasant.

Cons:

Same breakfast every day, no storage space for clothing, closet door was off propped against the wall, pillows were overly lumpy, room was very damp (dampness ruined some of our medicine), bathroom door dragged and was hard to open and close, no spare toilet tissue in room, ceiling tiles in lobby badly water stained, faucett in tub dripping, hair dryer didn't work, air conditioner wasn't working (my husband knew how to reset it and got it going), room smelled of mildew.
