Categories

Cleanliness
9.3
Multiple reviews repeatedly call out very clean rooms and well-maintained property; one isolated note about a partially used soap does not outweigh the overall strong cleanliness sentiment.
Service
9.1
Numerous comments praise friendly, polite and engaging front desk staff and accommodating shifts; a small number of reports mention a rude/unfriendly reception interaction, but service is overall a clear strength.
Location
9
Frequently noted as convenient, safe, close to dining, stores, events and a sporting complex; location is consistently described positively.
Room Quality
8.1
Rooms are described as clean, roomy and generally comfortable with kitchenettes and patios, but recurring minor issues (so-so bed comfort, soft/sparse pillows, occasional TV/plug/towel shortages) lower this category to a solid but not outstanding score.
Amenities
8.7
Amenities like kitchenettes, a pleasant patio/pet area, 24-hour coffee/popcorn and breakfast are highlighted; however broken fitness equipment and lack of kitchen supplies/dishes in some units are noted and temper the rating.
Value for Money
9.2
Many guests describe the hotel as affordable, great value, and a good price for what is offered, often stating they would stay again for work or events.
Food and Beverage
8
Breakfast opinions are mixed — several guests praise the breakfast while a few explicitly dislike it; complimentary coffee/popcorn is appreciated, yielding a generally positive but moderate score.
Overall Experience
9
Overall impressions are very positive with many repeat stays, quiet rooms, friendly staff and frequent comments that guests would stay again despite some minor issues.

Pros:

Great check-in experience. I believe it was Eric at the front desk. He is polite, friendly and engages. The room was clean. The shower was great. There is a small kitchen area but 0 kitchen supplies. The bed was so so on comfort and the pillows were not good for sitting up to read…too soft and not enough of them. The area is safe with many dining options nearby. We would stay again.

Pros:

We had 1 hand/face towel and it wouldn't dry. We also had 1 washcloth for 2 people. The tv didn't work so the man at the front desk had to fix it. The light above the desk had to be plugged in for light and unplugged to sleep. There was only 1 plug for our cellphones by the bed.
