Categories

Cleanliness
7.8
Many reviewers said rooms and bathrooms were clean, but there are notable negative reports (carpet stains, a room with mold), producing a mixed-but-slightly-below-target cleanliness score.
Service
8.1
Front desk staff are often described as friendly and helpful, though there are serious isolated issues (double charge, a confused/rude agent) that temper the overall service rating.
Location
9.2
Location is consistently praised (close to college, highway access, nearby amenities); multiple guests highlight convenience and it being a strong positive.
Room Quality
7.6
Mixed room quality: several guests found mattresses supportive and beds comfortable, but repeated complaints about lumpy pillows, shifting/stretched sheets, mattress pad problems, old furniture and occasional room-mix issues lower this score.
Amenities
8.6
Amenities like the pool, fitness center and water refill station are appreciated; some operational issues (pool outage, lack of ice, coffee shortages) are noted but overall amenities are a positive.
Value for Money
7.4
Opinions split: some guests highlight good savings and reasonable price for location, while others call prices high for the room quality or describe 'outrageous' pricing, producing a below-target value score.
Food and Beverage
8.8
Breakfast and coffee receive mixed but generally favorable comments — several guests praise real-tasting eggs, gravy and good coffee, though a few reported poor-tasting eggs or limited supplies at times.
Overall Experience
9.7
Most guests report a satisfactory or very good stay (happy with rooms, would stay again); isolated negatives (cleanliness issues, billing problems, price concerns) exist but overall experiences skew positive.

With a couple changes to the bedding, it would be a great stay.
Pros:

The room was clean and the front desk staff was upbeat and friendly. The location and price were great.

Cons:

The pillows were lumpy and the bedding kept shifting. The mattress pad is a flat pad secured with a strap over the corner of the mattress, and it popped off during the night so I was sleeping on bare mattress.

Adequate for a one night stay. Would not likely book again
Pros:

The location was good. The bed was comfortable. Staff was pleasant. Bathroom was clean.

Cons:

The eggs at breakfast tasted very fake. The carpet had stains and furniture was old. I thought the price was high for the quality of the room.

Pros:

It was clean and very dog friendly

Cons:

The bed wasn’t the comfiest and the sheets were so stretched out it didn’t stay on the bed. I also booked a triple room/ pet friendly and I was under the impression that with a triple room it was have had a separate space with a tv but it was a single room with a king bed. When I asked about it the girl at the front desk looked confused. I showed her the confirmation of what I reserved and she only offered to move us into a room with 2 queens. I booked a room with a king bed for a reason so I declined her offer. I would have liked my triple room I booked but never got it.
