Many guests found rooms comfortable and clean
Cons:
Worn or dirty carpets in halls and rooms; some wet carpets reported

Categories

Cleanliness
7.4
Mixed signals: several guests called the hotel 'very clean', but multiple comments note worn/dirty hall and room carpets, wet carpet, dirty chairs and a clogged/dirty bathtub requiring sanitation.
Service
8.8
Generally strong: numerous mentions of friendly, professional and personable front-desk and housekeeping staff and easy check-in/out; isolated reports of poor management response and an abrupt hung-up call lower the score slightly.
Location
9.5
Consistently positive: many reviewers praise proximity to shopping, restaurants, medical appointment, and overall convenience.
Room Quality
8.6
Mostly good: guests appreciated kitchens, refrigerators and comfortable rooms, but some reported maintenance issues (broken recliner, odd TV angle, low toilet seat, hot nights) and worn room interiors in places.
Amenities
7.2
Below average: room kitchens and refrigerators are positives, but lack of free breakfast, insufficient/one small ice machine, non-working pool and missing grab bars for accessibility were repeatedly cited.
Value for Money
7.5
Mixed: several guests found the stay comfortable and convenient, while others said the property felt old/worn or 'not worth the money' given missing amenities and maintenance gaps.
Food and Beverage
6.8
Negative: multiple reviewers complained about no complimentary breakfast and limited on-site F&B; absence of breakfast compared to competitors was noted as a deterrent.
Overall Experience
9
Generally positive stays for many guests (clean rooms, friendly staff, convenient location), but offset by serious isolated incidents (verbal threats, management unresponsiveness) and amenity/maintenance shortcomings.

unhappy
Pros:

lo cation & staff- front desk & maids very nice & helpful

Cons:

hotel interior needs face-lift-- hall carpets are worn & room interiors need sprucing up;
THE ICE MACHINE IS FAR BELOW standard- A 4 floor hotel with 100+ rooms inhot-humid South requires aice machine per floor-- large size ;
this hotel had 1 small ice mavchine in lobby- store -- to serve all guests ; It was always empty when i needed ice both days-- the front desk lady said the MGT has lots of guests about poor ice machine & lack of enough machines ;
ALSO- NO FREE breaklact like competitiors offer -- i wont stay in this Brand again - if a competitor has the free breakfast
