Cleanliness
7.5
Mixed feedback: multiple guests praised cleanliness and 'clean, comfy' rooms, but several reports of dust, hair in showers, strong lemon-cleaner odor, smoke smell in some rooms, an AC leak with wet carpet and isolated bed-bug concerns lowered the score.
Service
9.6
Very positive: numerous mentions of friendly, helpful staff (Donna and breakfast staff called out by name), a loved front desk clerk, and staff described as amazing and hardworking — consistent strong service sentiment.
Location
9.2
Consistently praised: described as convenient, close to campus, civic center and school; multiple guests highlighted the location as a primary positive.
Room Quality
8
Generally good (beds frequently described as very comfortable) but offset by problems: noisy rooms (next to elevator equipment), elevator failures, AC leaks, low shower pressure, limited cable channels, and occasional empty toiletries.
Amenities
8.2
Mixed: complimentary breakfast and common amenities were appreciated, but guests noted limited cable channels, elevator issues, nearly empty squeeze-bottle toiletries and some slippery bathroom floors.
Value for Money
7
Below average: several guests explicitly said rates were high or they paid too much; one called it a bit over-priced for one night, reducing perceived value.
Food and Beverage
9.5
Strongly positive: many guests praised the complimentary breakfast and specifically lauded the breakfast staff for keeping food fresh and helping guests; a small number found breakfast mediocre.
Overall Experience
9.8
Overall very positive: many reviewers said they'd stay again and called it a great place to stay, with comfort, location and service outweighing the cited issues for most guests.

A great place to stay. Would definitely stay again.
Pros:

Breakfast was delicious. Eggs best I have ever eaten at a motel. Donna cooked them. She was a great helper, answering our questions and showing us where items were located. She was friendly and seemed to enjoy helping us.

Cons:

No problems.

Pros:

We loved the front desk clerk and the location of the hotel! The beds were amazing as well.

Cons:

The room wasn't clesned properly but we got in at 10pm so we just decided to let it be. There was dust all over the lamp at the bed side table, hand prints and streaks on the dresser drawer fronts, and hair in the shower.
