Categories

Cleanliness
5
Mixed reports: one reviewer described brown, smelly water preventing basic washing/teeth-brushing (major negative), while others called the place spotless and the room clean. Net sentiment leans below average due to the water/cleanliness concern.
Service
8.5
Generally praised — multiple reviewers described staff as friendly and helpful and staff assisted with ice — but isolated negatives (a creepy/inattentive front-desk interaction and a staff member who dismissed noise complaints) temper the score.
Location
8.5
Described as located in a safe area and positive overall; one note that the property is a little hard to find (GPS recommended). Overall a clear location strength.
Room Quality
5
Several room issues reported: low shower head, a very squeaky bed, and thin floors/noisy upstairs neighbors. At least one guest noted the room was presented well, but multiple comfort/maintenance problems pull this below average.
Amenities
5
Amenity issues noted (broken ice machine; staff provided a small bag of ice) and water quality issues affecting in-room water; limited positive mentions of amenities. Score reflects functional shortcomings.
Value for Money
6.5
Standard quality for this hotel tier.
Food and Beverage
5
Breakfast was specifically described as 'not very good' by a reviewer. No strong positive F&B mentions to offset that comment.
Overall Experience
8.5
Overall sentiment is positive for many guests — headlines include 'Great place!' and 'Wonderful place and amazing staff', and multiple mentions of spotless presentation and helpful service — despite notable negatives (water quality, room maintenance, isolated staff issues).
* This sentiment is summarized by AI based on user reviews.

Pros:

The ice machine was broken and the guy in the office gave me a small bag of ice.

Cons:

The shower head was too low. The one bed made way too much squeaking noise every time it was sat on or laid on. I told the guy at the front and he acted like he didn't understand what I was saying and blamed the noise on the A/C unit. We could hear everything the person upstairs was doing. The person in the office was creepy and watched everything I did.

Decent stay, safe area, quiet sleep
Pros:

It is close to New Echota State Park and Museum. Their literature says pets are no problem. I have a service dog.

Cons:

The refrigerator leaked in our room —136. Some of the walls needed to be cleaned. Probably a worker who had dirty hands smudged the walls, but it wasn’t too bad.
