Categories

Cleanliness
4
Multiple reviews report severe cleanliness issues (pubic hair, dirty silverware, hair clippings, dirty floors, underwear in cabinet) and unpleasant odors; cleanliness is a clear weakness.
Service
9
Service is mixed but often praised — several guests called the front-desk attendant 'amazing' while others reported rudeness or billing disputes; overall the staff interactions are frequently positive.
Location
9
At least one review explicitly notes a 'Great Location' and location is otherwise not criticized in reviews, so location is considered a strong point.
Room Quality
6.3
Rooms are sometimes described as clean and comfortable, but common complaints include bad smells (BO/weed), insufficient pillows, noisy nights, and occasional dirty fixtures — mixed but below excellent.
Amenities
5.5
Many missing or limited amenities were reported (no pool/jacuzzi, no ice, no coffee machine, limited toiletries, no shampoo/conditioner/lotion, no breakfast) leading to a below-average amenities score.
Value for Money
9
Multiple guests booked for the low price and explicitly call it 'cheap' or 'great for the price'; strong perception of value despite other shortcomings.
Food and Beverage
4
Food & beverage options are largely absent or inadequate in reviews: no breakfast, no coffee machine, and limited in-room toiletries, resulting in a low rating.
Overall Experience
10
Guest experiences are polarized but several headlines and comments state 'Great for the price', 'Overall great stay', and 'I would stay again' — overall impression leans positive for budget travelers.

Didn’t stay
Pros:

Nothing, they couldn’t let me in because I got there a little later because of my flight no refund and staff was rude

Cons:

Rude staff, not welcoming and the worst part is that I tried to get a refund and i couldn’t

Disgusting & full of meth heads
Pros:

Nothing, they’re thieves. They gave me 2 extra charges.I tried contacting them but they avoided me because they knew that what they’d done was wrong. I filed a complaint with Better Business Bureau to recoup the extra charges over $400 and they did not respond to them either.

Cons:

This place was filthy, pubic hair on the toilet & tub, dirty silverware in the sink with rice and there were a lot of shady characters staying there. Woman missing her teeth pleading with manager that she’d pay her bill soon. Don’t stay here. Disgusting.

Cheap place to stay if you need to sleep and are not bothered by everything else.
Pros:

The only reason we booked was because the price was significantly cheaper than other area hotels in the area. My family only needed a place to relax/sleep/shower for about 10 hrs.

Cons:

The room smelt horrible! I cant even begin to say what it was other than maybe a mixture of BO and weed. The hallway was better BUT still smelled like old smoke and weed. Our shower and sink had hair clipping all over it so it was not cleaned appropriately. I had to try to wash out the shower before allowing my family to use it. And each bed only had 2 pillows!!! Seems like they should provide at least 4 - 2 per person.
