8.5
Mixed but several positive mentions: 'staff is great', 'front desk staff was nice', 'easy check in' alongside isolated reports of rudeness and reservation issues — overall service appears inconsistent but often helpful.

Mixed signals: some reviewers found the surrounding area unpleasant, but others commented on a good location (near Shenanigans bar) and convenient placement for certain travelers.
Room Quality
5.5
Rooms are often described as outdated, small or worn (old furniture, carpeting, entrance/lobby issues), though beds were sometimes reported comfortable and some rooms appeared updated.
Amenities
5
Limited amenities noted: basic breakfast, occasional hot tub clean, but complaints about no ice, shady elevator, no toothpaste to buy and inconsistent facilities.
Value for Money
9
Several reviewers explicitly call it good value or suitable for budget travelers/contractors, indicating strong perceived value despite other shortcomings.
Food and Beverage
4.2
Breakfast frequently criticized as minimal/sub-par (cereal, overripe fruit, packaged items, no decaf) leading to a generally poor rating for food offerings.
Overall Experience
6.9
Overall mixed: frequent cleanliness and facility complaints lowered stays for many, but helpful staff, low price and occasional pleasant surprises produced acceptable experiences for some guests.

Shit show.
Pros:

We got there - they said we had no reservations and we were left out in the cold - we had to stay in the car and it ruined our vacation entirely.

Cons:

No clue. We didn’t get to stay or even check in.
