Categories

Cleanliness
8.6
Multiple guests explicitly called the property clean and praised tidiness, though one review noted the room 'could of been cleaner'—overall generally positive but with isolated lapses.
Service
8.8
Service reports are mixed: several mentions of friendly/helpful staff (e.g., a very nice attendant), but there are negative interactions (manager response about towels, guest needing tools). Overall slightly above target due to helpful staff moments.
Location
9.2
Consistently praised as convenient and close to major highways and shopping; multiple guests listed location as a clear positive.
Room Quality
7
Notable complaints about uncomfortable, lumpy beds and some in-room failures (TV not working, low shower/toilet water pressure and clogs). Room comfort and maintenance are weaker points.
Amenities
7.6
Amenity concerns include pool/spa maintenance (debris, insects) and shortages (not enough towels), though some standard amenities functioned as expected.
Value for Money
6
Several guests explicitly felt the price did not match the experience, calling pricing excessive or 'gouge' given noise and rest issues—value is a clear negative.
Food and Beverage
8.9
Breakfast is frequently praised as delicious with a good selection and a useful perk (coffee); isolated complaints about eggs or missing bacon, but general sentiment is positive.
Overall Experience
8.7
Most guests report a good or great stay and express willingness to return; a minority had notably poor experiences (sleep issues, service/maintenance problems), resulting in an overall positive but mixed impression.

We all had a great time breakfast was excellent great saving bonus
Pros:

Close to major highways and shopping

Cons:

I think the pool should be taken care of more often a bit of debris and dangerous flying insects might be a nest near the spa
