Categories

Cleanliness
8.1
Majority of reviews call rooms 'very clean' and layout/rooms praised, but isolated issues (roaches in one room, a leftover dirty sock) lower confidence in housekeeping.
Service
9.6
Staff repeatedly described as friendly, accommodating and excellent (front desk and employees praised), supporting a strong service score.
Location
9.2
Location frequently noted as perfect or conveniently located and away from the interstate (reduced traffic noise); one mention of awkward parking access lowers this slightly.
Room Quality
8.4
Rooms described as modern, comfortable with good layout and amenities; some issues reported (could hear other guests showering, slow-draining sink) make this positive-but-not-perfect.
Amenities
7.6
Complimentary breakfast and a pool were commonly missed; positives include in-lobby coffee/popcorn and in-room amenities, but lack of breakfast/pool and missing streaming apps on TV reduce the score.
Value for Money
9.4
Several reviews state the hotel exceeded expectations for the price and call it a very nice place for the cost, indicating strong value.
Food and Beverage
8.3
Coffee and popcorn were appreciated by guests, but absence of a continental breakfast is a common negative, producing a generally positive but mixed score.
Overall Experience
9
Overall stays described as very nice, comfortable and friendly; a few serviceable negatives exist but overall experience is strongly positive.
