4.5
Multiple reports of dirty floors, stained sheets and a strong musty/moldy odor in at least one room — cleanliness is a clear weak point.
Service
9
Mixed reports but several guests noted smooth check-in and helpful staff; one guest reported rude/disrespectful behavior. Overall service appears generally competent with isolated negative incidents.
Location
9
Location was called out positively by some guests (easy access/check-in), though one reviewer described the area as 'kind of questionable' — overall location generally favorable.
Room Quality
5
Rooms described as outdated with stained sheets, bleach/ burn marks and general wear; bed comfort was noted as acceptable but room condition is average to below average.
Amenities
6
Amenities are inconsistent: one guest praised made-to-order waffles, but the pool was reported as gross/unclean and general exterior/upkeep is poor — mixed but slightly below average.
Value for Money
8.5
Multiple mentions of low price/affordable rate and that the property is acceptable for the cost — perceived as good value despite condition issues.
Food and Beverage
6
Frequently criticized breakfast (white bread, cold cereal, bad coffee) though one guest highlighted a positive hot-waffle offering; overall food quality is below average with some positive moments.
Overall Experience
8
Reviewers report a mixed stay: affordability, decent check-in and occasional positives (comfortable bed, waffles) offset by cleanliness, dated rooms, a dirty pool and occasional rude staff — overall a mixed experience with strong perceived value.

Pros:

First off it looks nothing the the pictures in the app or online it’s all color faded and beat up the grass over grown everywhere. And that’s only the outside the inside was outdated basket to I get it for 50 dollars a night you don’t expect much

Cons:

But where you get to a point where your own bed has stains on the sheets bleached spots and burned holes in certain sections that’s not an ideal place to stay especially with a 11 month old baby breakfast was ok not good juice milk and coffee were work not cold or hot but other than that I can’t say anything good about this place ik they can do better and make it look great if they try

Horrible
Pros:

Nothing, since the moment I came in the staff was extremely rude and disrespectful with me. I was just looking for a place to spend the night because I was on a road trip but this place should not have 7.0 points and “good” qualifications because it’s a disaster

Cons:

Stayed but got the hell out of there, and will never go back
Pros:

Nothing

Cons:

Traveling with family, and was looking forward to going into pool. Pictures on website showing beautiful pool, and the pool was gross hasn’t been used or cleaned in years. Looks like dump area. Walked in room, and it was old outdated, and first thing I did was look under mattresses for bugs. Did not find any, but the whole place felt dirty.
