Categories

Cleanliness
5.5
Mixed reports: some guests called rooms clean and comfortable, while others reported dirty rugs, stained/moldy shower curtains and strong tobacco smells — overall below average cleanliness.
Service
6.8
Service is inconsistent: some desk clerks were fine but multiple reviews mention unfriendly staff, limited/skeleton staffing and minimal breakfast replenishment; adequate for a budget property but not exemplary.
Location
9.5
Location is convenient with easy interstate access and good placement for business travel; downside is noise from nearby I-35/semi traffic for rooms facing the road.
Room Quality
5.5
Rooms are often described as small, dated or dark with issues like sagging mattresses, hard beds, thin windows and occasional flashing alarm lights; some guests found beds comfortable but overall below expectation.
Amenities
6
Basic amenities present (pool, hot tub) but criticized as small or luke-warm; no elevator, limited replacements for breakfast items and minimal extras — average-to-below for amenities.
Value for Money
8.5
Perceived as good value by several guests for the price (business travelers noted good price/comfort), though a few felt it was poor value when rooms were dated or dirty.
Food and Beverage
4.5
Strong negative sentiment: continental breakfast repeatedly described as limited, low-quality, lacking eggs/yogurt/healthy options, stale fruit/muffins and little variety.
Overall Experience
8.9
Mixed but leaning positive for budget/business travelers: convenient location and comfortable beds noted, offset by inconsistent cleanliness, poor breakfast and occasional unfriendly staff — overall acceptable value for many guests.

Pros:

I arrived early, and they were able to accommodate my checking in a little bit early. It was clean and exactly what was expected. Would stay there again.

Overall decent, especially compared to the other hotels in the area (or local Airbnb's).
Pros:

Breakfast was lacking compared to other continental breakfasts I have experienced. If you have a gluten allergy or just don't care for only pancakes I'd definitely skip this one, good news is there is a Hardy's right down the road so it isn't a total loss.

Cons:

Room was mildly small, good enough for 2 people but hard to manage with a single large suitcase. The hot-tub was also more of a 'luke-warm' tub most of the time, but this was a minor issue.

Clean rooms but don't go for the continental breakfast.
Pros:

The rooms were satisfactory with the exception of not having any hooks in the bathroom.

Cons:

The continental breakfast was horrible!!! There was only one type of oatmeal, one type of fruit (apples that were a month old), very, very, cheap and tastless muffins, no sugarfree syrup for pancakes (for diabetics), nothing for health conscience persons such as yogurt. Plenty of bread but no peanut butter. All of the things mentioned are not costly but would certainly satisfy visitors.

Uncomfortable
Pros:

Convenient location, good beds, clean

Cons:

Flashing alarm light in the room, super noisy with thin windows by a busy road, poor quality breakfast, staff not friendly. Did not reply to greetings. For 150 dollars a night, I expect better.

Skeleton staff, limited breakfast. I would not go there again.
Pros:

It was clean & the desk clerk was fine

Cons:

The room was small & very cluttered. The mattress was fine on one side but sagging on the other side. The breakfast was very limited & no one was replacing items.

just passable
Cons:

No filtered water or water cooler, no elevator and lugged luggage up flights of stairs, staff that checked me in not exactly personable, the rooms were ok but definitely needed a refresh, room smelled like stale smoke and I had to keep window open to air it out, the blanket and coverlets were not great and not washable - you need washable, sheet covered down like, fluffy comforters like most other hotels.

Ick.
Pros:

This location is sad and dirty. My feel literarally got dirty from walking on the rug. Shower curtain stained and moldy. Smelly and not enough light. Our rate was probably higher than average because of some local events but even at $100 a night, this place is pretty poor value for money. If you stay, just be ready for that - and bring some room slippers!

Comfortable budget hotel. A good option for business travel at a great price!
Pros:

The room was comfortable and had good amenities for the price. The office chair was comfortable, and I slept well on the bed. There is a TV, but I didn't watch anything.

Cons:

I was hoping for hot eggs at breakfast. That's about it. I don't have any other comments. I do need to type a bit more to get past the requirements for this question.
