Cleanliness
1
Repeated reports of bedbugs, cockroaches, ants, mold on AC and lamps, stained sheets and generally dirty rooms — cleanliness is very poor.
Service
6
Mixed reports: a few guests praised staff as excellent and helpful, while others reported unhelpful front-desk responses; overall service is inconsistent but has some positives.
Location
6.8
Multiple mentions that the location is convenient and parking is acceptable; location is a relative strength compared with other issues.
Room Quality
1.2
Rooms reported with major problems: bed frames sticking out, beds described as like plywood, windows broken or stuck open, smells, mold and visible dirt — room quality is very poor.
Amenities
1.5
Several amenities non-functional or unavailable (heated pool cold/closed, fitness room closed, ice machine broken, no laundry access) — amenities are largely unreliable.
Value for Money
5.6
Some guests noted bargain/budget pricing and one guest was satisfied for a budget stay, but many others felt poor conditions undermined value; overall value is mixed, leaning slightly positive due to low price.
Food and Beverage
1.1
Breakfast repeatedly unavailable or very limited (no meat/butter, restrictions on taking food to rooms); several guests explicitly reported no breakfast being served.
Overall Experience
4
Overall stays ranged from severely negative (infestations, mold, filth) to a few acceptable budget experiences; the aggregate experience is below average but not uniformly terrible for every guest.

I would definitely would stay again. Thank you
Pros:

Staff was excellent, the beds were great. Good mattresses. Clean sheets. The air conditioner worked, however smelled bad. Mold on it. The room, big, clean, but smelled horrible. I cant describe the smell but dirt maybe. I believe the air conditioner simply needed a the yearly clean. Nice tv, good reception, very clean pool, small, but clean, no laundry, n fitness room closed. Ice machine was broke but the one down the hall worked. Over all, for a budget room, I will gladly come back. I was happy with my stay. Thank you Baymont for a pleasant experience. (Classic queen 2 bed suite).

Cons:

No laundry availability. The smell of the air conditioner. No meat breakfast or butter n they have signs demanding that food not be taken back to the room. So who ever(kids) still sleeping, didn't get breakfast.

Horrific
Pros:

The beds had the biggest bed bugs ive ever seen. Lamp shades covered in mold. Cockroachs in the bathroom and ants everywhere. Our window was stuck open with no screen or any thing to keep bugs or people from coming in. The room was not vacuumed pills and toe nails on the floor. And to make it worse the towels were moist hanging on the door with a open bar of soap on the tub.

Cons:

Everything

To some of my stay, I would never come to this place
Pros:

I didn’t like much of anything. The lobby looked like it was going to be a decent place and the room and hallways were terrible. Dirty laundry on the chair in the room when we arrive there no pillowcases on the pillows. Television didn’t work and required assistance to get it to work. Telephone didn’t work at all in the room. Must I go on? No toilet paper in the bathroom and only one hand towel and one bath towel no soap.

Cons:

See above as you’ll see all the things I didn’t like they far exceed the ones or two things that were good.
