Categories

Cleanliness
4.5
Multiple guests reported poor sanitation: threadbare towels, lobby appeared dirty, reports of flooding and water issues; some rooms/bathrooms were described as clean but overall cleanliness is inconsistent and below expectation.
Service
9
Staff mentioned several times as friendly and courteous (helpful at 2:30 AM, upgraded a room when bathroom issues occurred); one complaint about lack of follow-up on a refund, but overall service interactions were positive.
Location
8.5
Easy to get to from the freeway (explicitly noted); however proximity to lobby/noise and a dark parking area were mentioned as negatives — overall location/access is good.
Room Quality
4
Multiple functional problems: toilets not flushing/overflowing, shower/sink drainage problems, alarm issues, rundown sink area, gap under door causing noise; room quality is substantially below standard.
Amenities
7
Some amenity failures noted (elevator out of service, no in-room coffee/tea) but heating worked well and basic amenities present; mixed but generally usable.
Value for Money
7
Mixed signals: one guest said 'not even bang for buck' while others described the stay as good — overall perceived value is slightly above average when service/access are considered despite room issues.
Food and Beverage
6.5
Limited mentions: specifically no in-room coffee or tea; no other F&B offerings discussed, so modestly below neutral due to the missing in-room option.
Overall Experience
8.7
Guest experiences vary widely from immediate departures and serious complaints to positive stays praising staff; overall experience leans positive primarily because of helpful staff and accessibility despite notable room and cleanliness issues.

not even bang for buck, just no sleep
Cons:

Don't take any room near the lobby. Loud all hours and the 2" gap under the room door let's in any noise.
