Cleanliness
6.5
Mixed reports: several guests praised clean, spacious rooms, but there are multiple serious negatives (strong odors in foyer and rooms, stains and hair in bathroom, guests leaving because of smell, slick shower floors causing falls).
Service
9.5
Generally helpful and accommodating front-desk staff noted repeatedly (friendly check-in, staff resolving issues), though there are notable exceptions (reports of rude breakfast staff, disrespectful employee interactions, and lack of follow-up on incidents).
Location
9.8
Consistently praised for proximity to the highway, exits, restaurants, gas stations and nearby events — one of the strongest positive themes across reviews.
Room Quality
7.5
Many guests found beds comfortable and rooms spacious, but issues include noisy or failing AC units, squeaky beds, lack of privacy curtains, occasional smoke odor on floors, and slippery shower floors creating safety concerns.
Amenities
9
Mixed but generally positive: complimentary snacks (popcorn/cookies), pool (though some reported it cold or off), late pool hours, and breakfast available; small workout room exists but was reported noisy and limited.
Value for Money
8.7
Several guests called it 'worth the $$' and suitable as a convenient roadside stop; perceived value is reduced for those who encountered cleanliness or noise problems, but overall value sentiment is above average.
Food and Beverage
8
Mixed breakfast experiences: some guests praised the breakfast, others said the free breakfast 'really sucked'; complimentary snacks appreciated, but breakfast service quality and staff behavior were inconsistent.
Overall Experience
9
Overall stays were positive for many guests (clean, convenient location, helpful staff), but recurring issues with noise, cleanliness/odor, occasional rude staff, and safety hazards tempered some experiences.

Nice facility to stay.
Pros:

Location and the bed was comfortable.

Cons:

The window didn’t have a privacy curtain. It was shear black. If I can see outside, I didn’t feel like I had privacy inside.

Cons:

I fell in the shower and hit my head almost knocking me out. Got a few bruises! I turned it in to the front desk when we left but heard nothing from it. I’m still thinking about getting a lawyer.
