Categories

Cleanliness
7.3
Generally described as clean in many reviews ("very clean", "room was very clean", "clean bedding") but several issues were reported (a roach on entry, a smoking room smell, sticky floor and cigarette burns in bathtub) that lower the score slightly.
Service
8.2
Multiple positive mentions of helpful/front desk staff (names called out: Pauline and Jocelyn), accommodating manager in one case and kind service (front desk gave a guest a Coca‑Cola). Some negative service incidents (rude management, unresolved billing dispute) but overall service sentiment is positive.
Location
8.3
Frequently praised for location (close to highway/airport, "great location", guests felt safe); a few comments about motel‑style entrance but overall location is a strong positive.
Room Quality
7.6
Beds and bedding repeatedly described as comfortable and rooms generally favorable (TV, AC, comfy beds) but issues include wrong bed type (queen advertised but full provided), cold floors, and some smoking damage in rooms.
Amenities
7.8
Pool is highlighted and well-liked; breakfast is available but opinions vary (some praise, some call it bare minimum). Paid parking mentioned as a negative for amenities.
Value for Money
6.8
Mixed value perception: some called it a great deal, but prominent complaints about unexpected extra charges (disputed extra adult/children fee), parking fee, and receiving a different bed than booked reduce perceived value.
Food and Beverage
7.1
Breakfast received mixed feedback — a few guests praised it, several described it as just OK or minimal; no other food/beverage services strongly noted.
Overall Experience
8.5
Many guests reported a positive overall stay (would stay again, felt safe, great staff) despite some notable negatives; net impression is favorable for the typical short stay.

The price was good for what you get. Stay wasn’t very friendly, left as soon as I got up.
Cons:

Neighbor was kind of loud, staff wasn’t welcoming.

Seems nice but...
Pros:

The room felt updated and seemed very clean except that there was a roach when we first entered the room.

Cons:

In all the years I've used booking to reserve hotels, I've never seen a difference in price for rooms when entering 1-4 occupants, so I've stopped bothering to change it. I'll take responsibility there. However, to be told at check in that it would be an extra $88 because the room rate went up for having 2 adults and 2 children was crazy. I was told that the manager closely watches cameras to see how many people you bring and if you don't declare there's a problem. The clerk offered to have the manager call me in the morning to discuss, but I never got a call. After checking my statement, I now see I was charged $7 and $95 which is also not the $88 I was told. I was planning to stay here again when we come in Feb, but I have cancelled my second reservation and will not be returning.

Pros:

The front desk staff was nice. Location was good

Cons:

My fault I accidentally booked a smoking room, so it smelled of cigarettes. That being said, the floor was sticky and the bathtub had cigarette burns along the sides. The room was in order and looked okay but these issues became evident after a few minutes.
