Categories

Cleanliness
6.8
Mixed: multiple guests praised common areas and some rooms as very clean, but several reports of musty smells, visible mold/rust, pet odors and a discovered hair-filled tub lowered the cleanliness perception.
Service
10
Generally very positive: staff repeatedly described as friendly and helpful (complimentary coffee, easy check-in/out, named employees praised). A few notable service failures (front desk refusal to assist, inconsistent maintenance response) were mentioned but overall staff interactions were strong.
Location
9.8
Strongly positive: multiple guests cited a convenient location close to the highway and overall good location for their needs.
Room Quality
5.4
Weak: several guests reported older, worn rooms with musty or pet smells, broken fixtures (locks, remotes), poor ventilation/exhaust issues, and uncomfortable beds/pillows—room condition frequently cited as the main problem.
Amenities
8.6
Mixed-to-positive: positives include in-room fridge, complimentary coffee and decent breakfast when available; negatives include limited snack/beverage selection, waffle maker out of order and a dirty spa tub report—some amenities work well while others need attention.
Value for Money
5.6
Below average value: several guests felt the room condition and service issues did not justify the price paid (one guest explicitly said not worth $190/night).
Food and Beverage
7
Mixed: breakfast was praised by some as better-than-average, but others reported sub-par offerings, items not restocked and broken equipment (waffle maker), producing variable experiences.
Overall Experience
7.6
Overall mixed experience: friendly staff and a convenient location balanced against inconsistent room condition, occasional cleanliness/amenity failures and value concerns—results in an average overall stay consistent with the target rating.

Would not stay here again.
Pros:

The bed was okay.

Cons:

The breakfast was sub-par, the lock on our room was broken and maintainance couldn't even fix it, and the exhaust in the bathroom didn't work which resulted in the bathroom turning into a sauna. The room smelled musty upon arrival. The hotel was short on towels because they were booked full and the front desk asked us to drop our towels in the hall as soon as we were done with them so they could wash them right away so they'd have more availablefor use.......WHAT?! Our stay wasn't worth paying $190 for ONE night. Definitely would not book here again.

Location good. Beds were passable. The room itself was meh. Breakfast on the house was good!
Pros:

Location close to highway was convenient

Cons:

Older infrastructure with visible mold/rust in bathroom and no exhaust fan. Room was musty and looked straight out of 1990

Pros:

Good location. Comfortable beds. Good water pressure in the shower. Everything was clean and the staff were great. Better than average breakfast.

Cons:

My room was starting to show some wear and tear. Not bad but the property should be looking towards a refresh in the next year or two.

DO NOT BOOK HERE. THERE ARE BETTER ONES IN THE AREA
Pros:

The man Brandon that checked us in was wonderful.

Cons:

Caleb at the front desk refused to pick up when I wanted to extend a night. He put me on hold 3 times and then just quit answering when there was clearly no one at the desk for him to be helping. The description says spa tub. It was a nasty tiny tub. See the picture with all the hair in it we found. Also the remote control did not work for the tv
