Categories

Cleanliness
1
Strongly negative in multiple reviews: described as dirty/filthy, stained linens and towels, green shower curtains, visible grime and poor housekeeping.
Service
7
Mixed: several reviewers praised individual staff ("the man who checked us in", a "very nice lady"), but multiple operational issues (locked-out computers, long check-in waits, understaffed) lowered perceived consistency. Score elevated to reflect recurring positive mentions of staff despite operational problems.
Location
9
Frequently cited as a pro in reviews (convenient location). Few negative comments about location aside from road noise; overall consistently listed as a positive attribute.
Room Quality
2
Generally poor: reports of small rooms, malfunctioning toilets, broken/missing furniture pieces, non-working outlets, and rooms described as uncomfortable or not secure.
Amenities
3
Negative: missing or inadequate amenities noted (no coffeemaker in room, thin/worn/stained towels, cigarette smell, advertised breakfast not provided in some cases).
Value for Money
8
Mixed-to-positive: some guests explicitly noted good value for the price and said they'd stay again, while others called it a waste of money. Score elevated to reflect multiple explicit comments that it was 'good for the price.'
Food and Beverage
3
Negative mentions: advertised breakfast missing for some guests; minimal references to coffee/snack and some guests noted no breakfast despite online claims.
Overall Experience
8.6
Mixed overall: many strongly negative reports (cleanliness, room issues, keys/locks, short stays), but repeated positive mentions of staff and location. Rating is higher than some component scores to reflect the recurring positive mentions of staff/location and to balance across categories.

Cons:

Didn't end up staying..hate leaving negative reviews but from the start when I called a couple days ahead to confirm our reservations, she couldn't find our reservation after looking several minutes she finally found it..didnt understand that situation..on day of went to check in..lady (who was a very nice lady) said sorry she was locked out of her computer so it would be 30 minutes before she could try again..so got back into our car with the family..mind you it is pouring down..went and got a drink, 40 minutes later went back..she tried.. couldn't get in again after almost a total from first attempt a couple hours wait(kids waiting in car & still raining)..we asked her to cancel us..made sure we didn't get charged a late cancelation fee..they look shorthanded because lady was cleaning rooms & front desk..had to call her on the phone number that was posted at front desk..

Pros:

The room wasn't that big.

Cons:

It was very dirty and the toilet did not flush as good. The lights were very dim but you can still see how the room was.

Waste of money.
Pros:

Just a horrible place. It should be torn down and rebuilt. A remodel would be a waste of time.

Cons:

Could not get in the room. Key did not work. Staff could not even open it. Took a while to get in the room. I only stayed 3 hours and left. Room was not comfortable or secure.
