Cleanliness
2.5
Multiple reviews report very poor cleanliness: dirty towels, floors, showers and walls, with reports of what appeared to be blood on bathroom doors/walls and guests getting bites.
Service
8.5
Mixed but generally positive: several guests specifically liked the people and the lobby; however there were issues reported around deposits/charges and communication for some guests.
Location
9.1
Consistently mentioned as a pro: convenient location close to stores and near the base.
Room Quality
3.5
One guest noted room comfort, but multiple reports of dirty rooms, stained walls, showers and bedroom issues indicate poor room quality overall.
Amenities
6
Some basic amenities present (e.g., microwave), but several complaints about dirty towels and poorly maintained in-room items; amenities exist but are inconsistently maintained.
Value for Money
4.5
Perceived as poor value by guests given cleanliness and room condition; additional concerns about being charged a deposit or unclear charges reduced perceived value.
Food and Beverage
5.5
Limited mentions: one complaint about food left in the microwave; no strong positive F&B experiences reported, so F&B is rated slightly below average.
Overall Experience
6
Mixed overall: convenient location and generally friendly staff are positives, but serious cleanliness and room issues significantly hurt the overall stay.

Absolutely waste of money and not at all a safe place to stay.
Pros:

Nothing that I can think of of the top of my head.

Cons:

The room did not have a working lock. The sheets and towels were stained. The room had a door latch that is very easy to break. The whole property smelled like a litter box. We saw at least half a dozen cats roaming the property. The front desk man was completely unhelpful and rude. They refused to give us a different room. They refused to provide a receipt for the time I left or even offer a refund.
