Categories

Cleanliness
8.2
Multiple guests repeatedly praised cleanliness ("clean and comfortable", "rooms clean", "bed was clean"). A few mentions of aging-related mustiness and one comment about a terrible mattress temper the score.
Service
8.2
Service is frequently described as friendly and helpful (kind check-in staff, assistance with luggage, informative front desk). A few reports of a grumpy evening desk clerk reduce the rating slightly.
Location
8.2
Location is commonly cited as a strong point (walking distance to downtown, easy on/off freeway, beautiful views). Overall well-rated by guests.
Room Quality
7.1
Rooms are often described as spacious and comfortable, but several practical issues were reported: aging rooms, mattress problems, refrigerator/freezer issues, dark rooms, noisy AC/TV and occasional missing promised views or bed types.
Amenities
8
Amenities are a highlight — indoor pool, hot tub and relaxing pool area receive strong praise. The lack of an elevator (stairs to second floor) is a recurring negative that lowers the score.
Value for Money
7.7
Many reviewers call the property good value or acceptable for a short stay ("very value oriented", "acceptable"), noting it isn't fancy but is clean and reasonably priced for what is offered.
Food and Beverage
8.2
Breakfast is repeatedly described as good to excellent with variety; a downtown restaurant was singled out as excellent. Minor negatives include one comment about poor morning coffee.
Overall Experience
7.6
Overall impressions skew positive: friendly staff, good location, great breakfast and amenities, but some guests were disappointed with room assignment/bed/view issues and the property's age, producing a mixed but generally favorable overall experience.

Bon hotel
Pros:

Grande chambre, petit dejeuner correct, grande piscine interieure. Hotel style "Motel" nous avions une chambre au rez de chaussee et beaucoup de valises, donc très appreciable pour décharger. Le restaurant Dakota Cuban en centre ville etait incroyable.

Cons:

Pas d'ascenseur si vous avez une chambre au 1er etage. Hotel un peu vieillissant mais propre.
