Cleanliness
7
Many guests report the hotel and rooms as clean, but several specific reports cite dirty trim, stained walls and strong room odors in some rooms — mixed cleanliness overall.
Service
8.8
Service is mixed: several comments praise helpful, accommodating staff, but a number of negative front-desk/check-in incidents were reported; overall staff friendliness is a strength, slightly elevated here to reflect frequent positive mentions.
Location
9.6
Location is repeatedly called out as a positive — convenient and a clear selling point for many guests, so this category is rated high to reflect consistent positive mentions.
Room Quality
7.2
Rooms are often described as spacious and comfortable, but several guests reported issues (smells, cheap furnishings, dirty walls, bugs, odd unfinished spaces) giving an overall mixed room quality.
Amenities
8.2
Pool and hot tub are frequently praised and appear to be strong points; fitness equipment received negative comments which lowers the score slightly from an otherwise positive amenities impression.
Value for Money
6.5
Multiple guests felt the price did not match quality (comments like 'ripped off', 'not worth the money', 'felt like a $100/night place not $300'), indicating value is a weakness.
Food and Beverage
7.1
Breakfast received mixed feedback — some praise, but many complaints about items running out (orange juice), lack of bowls, and overall quality; overall slightly below target.
Overall Experience
8.8
Many guests report a great stay (clean, comfortable, helpful staff, great pool), while a minority experienced significant issues; overall experience is positive and is slightly elevated to reflect the many favorable stays.

Facility was nice but front desk staff not so much
Pros:

The pool area was very nice and large and the deluxe room
Was amazing

Cons:

The front desk staff,
One of the staff got made when we put creamer into the empty container for coffee and said I really wish you wouldn’t do that.
Another older women as we were swimming took all The pool towels out of the pool area and told us we couldn’t bring them to
Our room we said
The sign says we can we just have to return them and she responded yes but no on ever does so I’m not allowing it

Hotel was clean and comfortable just not well managed.
Pros:

The hotel over all was clean

Cons:

We received an email that said that check in was at 3, we arrived and were told that we couldn’t check in until 4pm and our assigned room wasn’t cleaned and ready. We sat in the lobby for an hour waiting while others who arrived after us were being checked in.
The front desk employees were nice but new, One was only 3 weeks into the position and One came in to be trained in on their first day. No Manager on duty.

Not coming back!
Pros:

The location.

Cons:

Upon arriving, check-in person told us they would put us into a different room, than what we were assigned to because that one was wet, from problems with air conditioning and had jumping bugs in there!!!! The walls in the room we went into looked like someone shook beverages and sprayed on walls, the trim around bathroom was dirty. Sheets and bedding were clean, but everything else about the room was disgusting! I would not go back to this hotel in the future!!

Pros:

Wonderful staff, convenient location.

Cons:

Room smelled awful, like old shoes. Looked cheap overall. Cheap room, cheap bedding. Felt like a $100/ night place to crash, not close to $300. Not worth the money.
