Categories

Cleanliness
6.2
Multiple guests reported dirty or musty rooms (disgusting rug, tiny dead roach, musty smell requiring washing clothes), and general complaints about not being clean; a few reviews did praise a clean room, so overall slightly below average.
Service
10
Many mentions of friendly, helpful staff and repeat guests who know the team; breakfast staff described as attentive. Service is a clear strength and is rated highly to reflect consistent positive remarks.
Location
10
Several reviewers explicitly cite a great/gute location and convenient parking right by rooms; courtyard and landscaping praised. Some noise and a sketchy back parking area were noted, but location/parking convenience was repeatedly highlighted.
Room Quality
6.8
Frequent reports of dated rooms, old/welted furniture, uncomfortable beds, poor layout (gap under door, little bathroom storage) and low fixtures—room quality is below average but not uniformly terrible.
Amenities
7.6
Mixed: courtyard, landscaping and garden are positives, but several broken or missing amenities (ice machine, jacuzzi light), low/child-height toilets, and lack of bathroom exhaust were reported; slightly below target overall.
Value for Money
6.8
Multiple reviewers felt the property was overpriced for the condition (attempt at refurbishing a motel, noisy, not clean), so value is judged below average.
Food and Beverage
7.3
Breakfast described as basic/typical American with limited selections, requests for more fruit and firmer eggs; friendly breakfast staff noted. Slightly below average due to limited offerings.
Overall Experience
7.7
Mixed guest experiences: some very positive repeat stays and friendly staff, but others reported safety concerns, poor cleanliness and noisy nights. Overall slightly under the target due to these recurring issues.

Gute Lage, großes und sauberes Zimmer
Pros:

Gute Lage, großes und sauberes Zimmer. Man kann ganz in der Nähe des Zimmers parken. Das Personal beim Frühstück war sehr freundlich. Besonders die nette Dame war aufmerksam und hat uns immer wieder etwas angeboten.

Cons:

Das Frühstück war einfach und typisch amerikanisch. Das Rührei hätte etwas fester sein können, die Würstchen waren in Ordnung. Geschirr und Besteck waren aus Papier bzw. Plastik. Der Empfang könnte etwas herzlicher sein und den Gästen mehr Informationen zum Aufenthalt geben.

It worked for what we needed.
Pros:

The courtyard was fenced and was nicely landscaped for comfortable walks with children.

Cons:

The rooms were dated and the furniture was welted up from being wet and older. The beds were very uncomfortable. The gap under the door was big enough that you could see light coming in.
