Cleanliness
8.6
Many guests praised clean rooms and bathrooms, but multiple reviews noted mold in the shower, odd/musty odors, dried spots on floors and a cloudy/unclean pool/hot tub—so cleanliness is generally good but with recurring maintenance/cleaning issues.
Service
10
Numerous comments highlight extremely friendly, helpful staff (night staff, kitchen team, and other employees were praised). One reviewer noted a slightly off front-desk tone, but overall staff responsiveness and friendliness are excellent.
Location
9.6
Several guests noted convenient placement (easy access to Hwy 287, walkable to food and a nearby coffee house), making location a strong positive for road-trip stays.
Room Quality
8.9
Beds were frequently described as comfortable and rooms generally spacious and updated, but some guests reported dated areas, poor shower condition, low water pressure and occasional odors—good overall with some room-level issues.
Amenities
9.4
Breakfast offerings received consistent praise and the pool/hot tub were enjoyed by families; however there are isolated reports of cloudy pool water and an unclean hot tub area. Amenities are strong but could use better maintenance.
Value for Money
9.4
Standard quality for this hotel tier.
Food and Beverage
10
Breakfast repeatedly described as great/tasty with many choices and plentiful coffee—this is a standout feature in multiple reviews.
Overall Experience
9.3
Majority of stays described as pleasant, clean and comfortable with helpful staff and good breakfast; a minority of maintenance/cleanliness issues and one booking hiccup tempered some experiences, but overall guests would largely return.

Pros:

The night staff and kitchen team were incredibly helpful and friendly. However, the front desk attendant had a strange tone when asking, “How may I help you?”—it felt a bit unwelcoming, as if we didn’t belong. Also, the second floor had a strong bleach smell. While not ideal, I’d still prefer that over unpleasant odors. Despite those minor things, the stay was positive overall.
