Categories

Cleanliness
7.8
Mixed reports: several guests mention clean rooms and hotel, quiet nights and generally tidy breakfast/areas, but multiple complaints about roaches, a mystery curtain stain, missing/unclean towels and a cobweb indicate cleanliness issues that lower this score.
Service
9
Service is frequently praised: many guests call staff friendly, helpful and quick to resolve issues (e.g., fixed the pancake maker, helped with vehicle problems). There are a few notable negative incidents (staff walking in without knocking, some rude desk clerks), but positive impressions dominate.
Location
7
Location is infrequently mentioned; one guest felt the area didn’t feel safe and reported solicitation nearby. No strong positives about location, so score is modestly reduced from target.
Room Quality
7.6
Room quality comments are mixed: multiple guests found rooms comfortable and spacious, while others reported issues — uncomfortable bed causing back pain, loud A/C, roaches and minor stains — so overall room quality is slightly below average.
Amenities
8.8
Amenities generally well regarded: breakfast with pancake maker and good selection, accessible wifi, pool described as clean and relaxing by some guests. There are notes about the pool being closed/need for remodeling in at least one review, but overall amenities are a positive.
Value for Money
8
Several guests describe the hotel as good value or inexpensive for short stays, though at least one guest felt it was overpriced and another experienced a billing discrepancy. Net sentiment is slightly below target but generally reasonable value.
Food and Beverage
9.2
Breakfast receives consistent praise: good selection, pancake maker (quickly fixed when there was a problem) and generally positive remarks about the morning offering, supporting a strong score.
Overall Experience
8.2
Overall impressions are broadly positive with many recommendations and repeat-intent comments; isolated but impactful negatives (privacy breach, cleanliness problems, occasional rude staff) balance out to the target overall rating.

Pros:

I stayed here for 3 nights and it was quite enjoyable. I checked my room for any bed bugs or pests before unpacking and it was clean except a cobweb in the corner above the door. The nights were so quiet you could hear a pin drop so sleeping wasn’t an issue.

The breakfast selection was good. There was a problem with the non-touching pancake maker, but the front desk personnel fixed it within 2 minutes. The pool was clean and the resting area was relaxing. Wifi is easy to access and the TV selection was pretty standard.

I would recommend this property to my friends and family visiting from out of town. I definitely will go back sometime in the future.

Ok but not great. Not worth the price.
Pros:

Very overpriced for an average hotel. Check in clerk was not rude but not particularly friendly either.
When I arrived I asked for a downstairs room since there is no elevator and I couldn’t climb stairs. The only available room was two queens instead of a king. That was not a problem but then I was charged more than the reservation that I made on Expedia. Check out clerk had no explanation.

Ok
Pros:

It was ok nothing special, basically a motel with breakfast. The room was spacious and mostly clean other than a mystery stain on the curtains. The area around the hotel didn’t feel super safe some random man tried to *solicit* services I do not provide.

Pros:

The lady working the desk for the evening was very nice. Room seemed clean but we ended up killing two roaches during our overnight stay. Also, I’m usually not too particular about my bed but the bed in our room was not good and my back was hurting by early morning and I couldn’t sleep any longer. A/C was so loud you could hardly hear the TV even at max volume. Wouldn’t stay here again.
