Cleanliness
7.5
Generally described as clean (rooms, pool, breakfast area) across multiple reviews, but several mentions of age-related cleanliness issues: musty/smoke smell on arrival, food crumbs in carpet, and a note about pest treatment — overall mixed, slightly below average.
Service
8.6
Consistently praised: staff repeatedly described as friendly, helpful and personable; breakfast attendant noted as kind and helpful. Higher-than-average score reflects strong service mentions.
Location
7.5
Mixed feedback: many reviewers cited convenience to nearby attractions, but others described the area as congested, dark at night, difficult to navigate, and with busy traffic — overall average-to-slightly-below performance.
Room Quality
7.5
Mixed room experiences: several guests noted clean rooms and comfortable beds, while others reported uncomfortable beds, rough sheets/pillowcases, noisy bathroom fan, no extra blankets, and occasional odors — leads to a slightly below-average score.
Amenities
8.3
Positive notes on amenities: clean, well-kept pool, varied breakfast offerings (including pancake machine), pet friendly. Some negatives: empty vending machines and limited outdoor pet relief area. Overall amenities are solid but not perfect.
Value for Money
8.3
Many reviewers called the hotel cheap and good value for short/family stays; a few felt it was overpriced for late check-in/early check-out. Overall positive value perception.
Food and Beverage
8.8
Breakfast repeatedly praised as excellent, varied, better than standard continental (protein variety, pancake machine, some gluten-free/healthy options). Strong positive sentiment here.
Overall Experience
7.5
Most stays described as good, comfortable, and family-appropriate with friendly staff; however, occasional significant issues (cancelled reservation prior to arrival, smell, noise) lowered some guests' experiences, yielding an overall slightly-below-target score.

Great stay at a great price!!
Pros:

The room was very clean, beds pretty comfortable. The sheets & pillow cases are a bit rough. The pool was clean & well kept. The staff was amazing! Everyone we met were kind, very helpful & super friendly. The selection is wonderful! This is NOT a simple continental breakfast. We stayed 3 nights so we got to see each day has a bit of a different selection as far as the proteins go. There is a pancake machine instead of waffles (we liked that). There was even a small selection of glutton free & healthier options. The lady keeping the breakfast bar stocked was very kind & helpful as well.

It was fine for one night and the price.
Pros:

Convenient to many things.

Cons:

The bathroom fan was really loud and a bit annoying. It was a 2n1 with the light so anytime the light was on the noisy fan was on. :( The room smelled like smoke / musty when we arrived. We thought about changing rooms, but just dealt with it for one night.
