Categories

Cleanliness
7.8
Mixed: multiple guests explicitly praised cleanliness, but there are significant negative incidents (found a used sanitary napkin under the air conditioner; guest killed a baby roach) that lower the score.
Service
10
Generally positive: several guests called the front desk 'nice' or 'very nice' and staff was described as helpful; one report of an inattentive arrival interaction is noted but outweighed by multiple positive service mentions.
Location
9.9
Strongly positive: repeatedly mentioned as a great location for travel (I-20), 'close by to everything', and convenient for the ballpark, shopping and restaurants.
Room Quality
8.3
Mixed to good: guests described rooms as very comfortable (including a liked 2-bedroom configuration), but there were isolated issues (A/C possibly underperforming; sanitary item found under AC).
Amenities
7.5
Mixed/negative: indoor pool was closed for at least one guest and the laundry washer was reported out of order; breakfast (an F&B amenity) was positive but other amenities had issues.
Value for Money
8
Mixed: some guests commented on a fair price while at least one guest felt the stay was 'not worth the price', resulting in a slightly below-target rating.
Food and Beverage
9.7
Positive: breakfast was repeatedly praised ('great breakfast', 'breakfast was good and easy', 'the breakfast'), contributing to a strong F&B score.
Overall Experience
9.2
Positive overall: several guests described their stay as pleasant or would recommend; negatives (cleanliness incidents, closed pool, occasional inattentive staff) temper but do not dominate the general positive sentiment.

Pros:

Breakfast was good and easy.

Cons:

Front desk staff on arrival did not acknowledge my presence when I walked up. She was helping someone with their Iphone to log into rewards, I think. It took a while without a nod or 'I'll be with you". A/C in our room seemed like it might be performing less than it should, but it didn't make it unbearable.

Overall great experience. Would still recommend
Pros:

I loved the room we chose. It was the 2 bedroom, one king, one queen bed. Very comfortable and the staff was nice. The indoor pool was closed, however and I found a used sanitary napkin under the air conditioner. Overall it was a nice experience

Cons:

I found a used sanitary napkin under the air conditioner. Highly disgusted. Also, the pool being closed
