Categories

Cleanliness
4.5
Mixed reports: several guests praised 'clean rooms', but multiple detailed complaints of roaches, mildew smell, hairs on sheets and a lack of deep cleaning drive this score down.
Service

Mixed sentiment: many reviews call the staff 'great', 'friendly' and single out 'Mark' as courteous, while others report rude, unprofessional management or owner behavior—resulting in a slightly below-target score.
Location
8
Generally positive: reviewers note easy parking, convenient on/off access to I-10 and a nearby Riverside restaurant, making the location a strong point.
Room Quality
6
Mixed: some guests found rooms comfortable with fresh paint and good beds; others reported cigarette smell, lack of proper blankets, rusting furniture and past roach sightings, yielding a below-target score.
Amenities
7
Average to slightly above: pool is praised for families and TVs offer decent options, but locked access to ice/laundry and smart TV limitations temper the score.
Value for Money
8
Positive: several guests emphasize affordability (under $70) and felt the stay was worth the price despite shortcomings—good value for budget travelers.
Food and Beverage
7.5
Limited mentions: no on-site dining noted, but nearby Riverside restaurant is called 'worth it', leading to a modestly positive score.
Overall Experience

Pros:

The room had a fresh coat of paint. Other than that I can not say that anything else was enjoy able. At the very first they told me i had to pay $50 cash at rhe check in desk. Not that i had any issues paying the deposit that I am used to paying. But my credit card was already charged the $50 before I reached the front desk. Informed me that I was not allowed guest ,not even if my husband came up for the night and if i didn't like the rules they had I could go elsewhere. Very unprofessional. Then the 1st room I went into had roaches big cockroaches and the other litle gross ones. The room had a mildew smell and the furniture was rusting thur the new coat of paint. So i was moved to the 2nd room where the bugs were gone but there was literally no blankets to cover and sleep under. I have never been to a place that had a curtian material as blankets the doors all stayed locked ans made the guest walk around thw put aide of thw building to acces the ice machine and laundry. Rhe room was dirty and looks like it was in desprate need of a deep clean . This lication never has to worry about me stoping in to stay woth them again. It was the worst experiance that I have had.

Pros:

Other than check-in being a bit longer than expected and a few hairs on the sheets of both beds, the big banana isn’t the fault of the hotel. Be aware that using a third-party to book a room means you’re stuck with what you get. We overlooked the small print: The tiny word that says SMOKING ROOM. The clerk, professional and courteous, offered an upgrade at a cost but emphasized they dog the room. It didn’t take long to adjust. It wasn’t near as bad as a smoking room on 14th St in NYC where rooms are rented by the hour, IF you know what I mean. In this era where smoking rooms are practically obsolete we “ass-umed” it was a nonsmoking room.
In to the good stuff. Everything worked fine and the room’s mostly clean. Traffic noise wasn’t bad. Easy parking and on/off I10. Riverside restaurant is near and worth it!
The smart TV is only smart if you have the matching Samsung phone.
You get what you pay for and for less than 70 bucks it was worth it.

Pros:

I had to buy roaches traps and placed them everywhere in the room. The place is roach infested. Also I bought a fragance diffuser and fabreeze clip ons & spray for the cigarette smell in the room that didn't disappeared. My asthma was horrible during my stay.
