Categories

Cleanliness
5.6
Mixed: several guests reported clean rooms, but multiple serious cleanliness issues (mold in room 118, stained towels, dirt on furniture, ants/critter reports) lower the score.
Service
9.3
Generally excellent: numerous mentions of friendly, helpful and attentive front desk/staff who addressed issues quickly; often cited as a highlight of stays.
Location
7.6
Mixed but generally convenient: close to highway and multiple restaurants and off the main street (quieter), though some guests found the immediate area a little 'scary'.
Room Quality
5
Below average: several reports of broken fixtures (toilet spraying/leaking), cracked walls, cigarette burns, couch/towel stains and one severe mold/water-damage report; some rooms were comfortable, but issues are significant.
Amenities
6.2
Moderate: free continental breakfast provided and basic in-room amenities (TV, A/C, shower) generally worked, but the pool heater was reportedly broken for months and not disclosed.
Value for Money
8.5
Strong: multiple guests called it a good budget option, reasonable pricing for multi-bed rooms and described pleasant surprises for the price.
Food and Beverage
6
Fair: complimentary continental breakfast is available but limited in variety (cold cereal, bagels); some guests reported critters getting into unattended food which detracts from the offering.
Overall Experience
8.6
Generally positive for budget travelers: friendly staff, good value and some clean/comfortable stays, but offset by intermittent serious cleanliness and room-quality problems that will deter some guests.

I slept okay
Pros:

It seemed clean and breakfast was good. It’s a fairly cheap hotel.
Not sure I’d recommend or stay again, though.

Cons:

There were odd little critters that kept getting into unattended food and skittered around the place, especially at night.
They weren’t roaches, but I don’t know what they’re called.

Excellent place to stay for work!!!
Pros:

Small walk to your room and tons of places that are walking distance

Cons:

Everyone there smokes, but outside there rooms. A simple candle from 5 below helped and made me forget about the cigarette smells, better than best western across the street! Avoid them at all cost!
