Cleanliness
7.5
Mixed sentiment: many guests repeatedly called the hotel very clean, but there are serious negative reports (roaches, mold/mildew, peeling paint, smells of cigarette/cannabis) that lower the score.

9.9
Strongly positive: numerous comments about excellent, friendly and helpful staff; only minor issues noted (e.g., short wait at check-in).
Location
9.3
Positive: multiple mentions of a great, convenient location (close to Ashland, easy access to nearby fields/attractions).
Room Quality
8.5
Generally comfortable rooms and beds reported, but a few guests cited overly firm beds and room maintenance problems in isolated cases.
Amenities
8.3
Good amenities overall (indoor pool, hot tub, workout room, pet walking area) but some issues reported (hot tub bubbles not working, towels missing at pool, vending/Coke machine out of order).
Value for Money
8.9
Not explicitly discussed in reviews; assigned the target overall rating.
Food and Beverage
9.5
Very positive: breakfast repeatedly praised as fresh, varied, and well-prepared (specific praise for the cook); only minor vending machine/snack machine issues noted.
Overall Experience
9.3
Predominantly positive overall experience for most guests with frequent recommendations to return; a minority of severe cleanliness/maintenance incidents temper the overall impression.

Roaches
Pros:

It was clean and a good location.

Cons:

We had more then one baby roach in our room. One was dead and 2 were alive. They did say that they were taking care of it but they keep going from one end to the other. They didn't offer us a discount nor did we ask.
