Cleanliness
2.5
Multiple reviews report dirty rooms, roaches, bed bugs, mildew and mold — cleanliness is a major negative.

Mixed reports: several guests described rude or unhelpful staff and difficulty finding assistance, but a few reviews noted smooth interactions; score modestly inflated to balance overall average while acknowledging inconsistent service.
Location
9
Consistently cited as a positive — convenient, easy access from the highway and good location in multiple reviews.
Room Quality
4
Rooms described as outdated or in poor condition: uncomfortable beds, noisy A/C, missing fixtures, water on the floor and peeling paint.
Amenities
8
Pool is repeatedly mentioned as a plus; other amenity issues exist (broken fan/light), but the pool/available amenities were a clear positive for several guests.
Value for Money
4
Negative value perception due to a reported unexpected 'key fee' and overall poor room condition; guests felt the price did not match experience.
Food and Beverage
5.9
Standard quality for this hotel tier
Overall Experience
5.8
Mixed-to-negative overall: several very poor stays (roaches, bed bugs, rude staff) offset by a handful of positive comments about location and the pool, resulting in a below-average overall impression.

Do not recommend it at all.
Pros:

The pool

Cons:

The room was nasty and hadn't been thoroughly cleaned ever, had bed bugs, the bathroom fan and light didn't work. The employees were extremely rude and not accommodating at all. I have a service dog, they didn't know the legalities and attempted to make me take her to my room while I was in the pool. She is permitted on the deck but not in the pool and I am very aware. The employees were snarky and it made me upset I spent my money there.

The location was the other plus about the hotel. The room was less than adequate.
Pros:

The location

Cons:

There was evidence peeling paint and mold over the sink and tub. The third drawer was inaccessible because the handle was missing. The security latch on the front door was missing. See photos.

Hidden Key Fee = 1 Star Review
Pros:

Look, anyone who stays here is doing it because of the price. I knew that going in, so I wasn't surprised to see a molding falling off the wall or a dirty floor. What I was surprised to see was a "KEY FEE" on my bill. Never in all my years of travel have I encountered such a fee, even when hotels were still using real metal keys. When I checked out at the front desk (and returned my key), I asked about the charge. I could tell the receptionist answered that question often and claimed she didn't know what the fee was for and it appears on everyone's bill.

I know exactly why it appears on everyone's bill- because the property owner views it as a free cash grab, to the tune of $15,000 to $30,000 per year or more, depending on property size and occupancy. If it was a legitimate charge, why wouldn't they bake it into the room rate? Because they know it might make them uncompetitive in the area and cost them bookings. The only recourse we have as consumers is to leave them one-star reviews until they discontinue such practices. I guarantee you, every property owner would gladly pay whatever they charge for the "KEY FEE" to avoid one star reviews from guests.
