Cleanliness
4
Multiple guests reported sticky/patched vinyl flooring, grout/stains in bathroom, room smells, and two baby cockroaches — overall cleanliness issues lowering this score.
Service
9
Mostly praised: staff described as very friendly, helpful and apologetic; front desk corrected booking errors quickly. One isolated report of rude behavior exists, but overall service was a strong positive.
Location
9
Several mentions of convenient location (next to the expressway) and suitability as a stopover; location repeatedly cited positively.
Room Quality
6
Mixed: comfortable beds, spacious suites and useful amenities (microwave, fridge), but issues with patched/uneven flooring, shower door problems, and an unstable pull-out bed.
Amenities
4
Significant amenity problems: pool and bar closures (including health-dept shutdown), limited ice machines, non-working hairdryer and other service interruptions — reduces amenity score.
Value for Money
6.5
Mixed perceptions: some guests felt the room was overpriced for the condition, others called price acceptable or good value; value pulled down by closed pool/amenities.
Food and Beverage
7.5
Breakfast repeatedly described as good/decents and was a common positive; bar was closed which detracts somewhat but breakfast service was a clear plus.
Overall Experience
7.6
Overall mixed-positive: many guests recommended or found the stay acceptable (clean rooms, comfy beds, good breakfast, helpful staff), but cleanliness issues, closed pool/bar and some maintenance problems tempered the experience.

Ok except for gaming scam area
Pros:

Clean

Cons:

They have casino style slot machines but if you win anything they REFUSE to cash your voucher. They say they won’t help you at all. What a scam. Very disappointing. Stay away from this area.

The room felt like an $80 a night room not $160.
Pros:

Staff was very friendly. Breakfast was good. Beds comfy.

Cons:

Floor in room was sticky and had parts that weren’t level- it was vinyl with replacement patches. Grout in bathroom didn’t match and stains on bathroom wall.

Other than that perfect.
Pros:

Nice clean room no pets allowed a plus for us as we suffer from allergies

Cons:

If there is one thing not to our liking was that the shampoo, conditioner and body wash setup was to close to the shower and we hit our elbows a couple of times while showering this items Should Be Opposite to the shower in Our Opinion,Thank you.

Pros:

It was quite cozy, a large room, two beds and a sofa, a microwave, a kettle, a refrigerator, the bathroom was quite clean. I didn't really look at the shortcomings, but the price was acceptable. The breakfast was good,

We stayed here for the night on our way to Chicago; it was one of the few good hotels I’ve stayed at. I recommend this hotel.

Cons:

When I checked in, I was given a room with one bed and one sofa, even though I had booked two beds and a sofa. I went back to the front desk, and after they spent about 5–7 minutes double-checking the details, the staff member realized the mistake, apologized for the inconvenience, and gave me the room I had actually booked. It wasn't a big deal, really—they quickly rectified the situation and apologized. Everything else was fine.

Nice stop for one night
Pros:

Rooms had newer flooring and were spacious. Breakfast was good. And they had some slot machines which was fun.

Cons:

Looks like it was maybe in the middle of a management change and some remodeling. Definitely needed some updating on some things. Pool and bar were closed.
