Multiple reviews report dirty towels and sheets, dusty/filthy surfaces, debris in bathtub, visible dust under sink and a reported roach — overall very poor cleanliness.

Mixed service: a few guests noted a helpful front-desk employee who tried to resolve issues, but many reviews describe horrible customer service and inconsistent staff performance.
Location
9.5
Consistently praised as convenient and close to attractions (amusement park, fireworks area, gas station); location is the most commonly noted positive feature.
Room Quality
2.5
Rooms described as outdated and dingy: very firm/dirty beds, AC leaks, shower handle issues, chipped paint and worn finishes — poor room condition.
Amenities
3
Minimal or missing amenities reported: no breakfast in some stays, no ice machine or vending, limited toiletries, and overall lack of expected basic amenities.
Value for Money
3
Several guests felt the price was not justified (example: ~$150/night) given the condition and lack of services — poor value for money.
Food and Beverage
3
Food/beverage offerings limited or absent: no breakfast in some reports and only lobby coffee; overall inadequate for guest expectations.
Overall Experience
4.1

The worst place I could stay. I'm spanish and i've stayed in mexico. Hotels that are much better tha
Pros:

It was horrible, no breakfast. No, nothing and super expensive. I paid a hundred fifty each night

Cons:

Nothing. I hated it. But then again, I didn't want to go spend somewhere else, because I had already invested over five hundred dollars here

It was very disappointing.
Pros:

It was a bed and a place to try to get some rest. The staff did try to give us peace of mind after making a complaint. Thank you.

Cons:

The facility really needs to be upgraded badly. We had to change rooms because AC spilled water all over the floor. There were minimal amenities available. Did not like the German brown roach.

Comically horrific. Do everything in your power never to stay here.
Pros:

The location is convenient. That’s the only redeeming quality about this hotel.

Cons:

Everything. The hotel is dirty. It’s outdated. The staff (outside of the woman that checked me in on Friday who was very kind) is not good. There is pride in work or ownership. Dirty towels. Dirty sheets. Windows are filthy. Shower handle fell off from basic use. The entire property needs to be closed for 6 months and completely renovated or sold to an ownership group that cares about guests. I worked for Marriott for several years in budget and limited service brands and it’s shocking to see how a franchise/budget hotel like this is allowed to operate with a corporate flag. Zero value in staying here.

Mistake
Pros:

Being close to amusement park and gas station.

Cons:

Debris in the bathtub. Metal bar under bathroom sink covered in dust. Beds are super firm. I awoke back hurting. No ice no coffee machine in rooms or cups. Coffee was in the lobby in a large coffee urn. First floor view was the bed of rocks behind the gas station which sets higher since the first floor rooms are down a set of steps. No housekeeping for 3 days. Trash was climbing the wall. No new towels. Room had laminate floors and cold. Walls in bathroom chipped paint. No bar soap. Tiny bottle shampoo. Will not rent here again. No vending machines. You can see where they were removed by an inoperable ice machine.
