Categories

Cleanliness
8.5
Multiple reviews praise clean rooms and facility; isolated issues noted (unclean showers, lingering trash on a table) but overall cleanliness is a strong positive.
Service
7.8
Staff described as very friendly, helpful and quick to solve issues in several reviews, though a few reports cite unhelpful staff and unresolved issues (e.g., phone not working).
Location
6.8
Some guests found the location convenient/close to their destination; others reported noise at the location and a hard-to-find driveway, reducing the location score.
Room Quality
6.5
Rooms were generally described as clean and comfortable with good pillows/sheets, but there are several substantial negatives (loud split AC, paper-thin walls, ice machine noise, very poor pull-out couch, slippery bathroom floor).
Amenities
7
Pool and whirlpool area and coffee machines were positives, but the pool being closed early and noisy ice machine/other service interruptions tempered the amenities rating.
Value for Money
5.5
Multiple guests explicitly called the price too expensive or a little high, and issues (noise, room problems, occasional poor service) lowered perceived value.
Food and Beverage
7.6
Breakfast and coffee were praised in several reviews (described as great/delicious and coffee machines a life saver), but a few guests reported poor/unfortunate breakfast or cold food.
Overall Experience
8.7
Overall impressions are mixed but lean positive: many guests highlight cleanliness, friendly staff, and good breakfast/amenities, though noise, some service lapses and value concerns led others to not recommend.

Pros:

I left each day at 4AM so no breakfast.

Pros:

Nice clean facility. Rooms were clean and comfortable.

Cons:

Was shopping with kids for back to school and they were hoping for a swim and the pool was shut down early and they were not able to go swimming. Glad they were keeping it clean just wish it wasn’t closed so early.

Cannot recommend this property.
Pros:

Nothing

Cons:

The room was not really appropriate for a person with a walking disability. The floor of the bathroom was as slippery as ice and I almost fell . Noisy location.

Typical hotel
Pros:

Nice pillows and sheets, front desk was nice

Cons:
