Categories

Cleanliness
3
Multiple reports of blood on ceiling, sticky surfaces, detritus in hallways, ants in beds, sandy/dirty floors and general filth — cleanliness is clearly poor.
Service
9.8
Mixed reports but several reviewers singled out specific staff members (GM Bree, the gentleman who checked guests in/out) and early check-in; front-desk interactions were often the only bright spot, supporting a relatively high service score despite some complaints about rude or absent staff.
Location
9.6
Multiple mentions of a good/excellent location and proximity to local shops; location is consistently noted as a strong point.
Room Quality
3.5
Frequent issues: broken dresser door, punch hole in bathroom door, mattress slipping off frame, bed positioned too close to wall, sticky floors and loose toilet seats — room quality is below average.
Amenities
3
Numerous reports of missing basic amenities (no breakfast, no toiletries like soap or shampoo provided, no phone/intercom, no coffee, limited towels) — amenities are lacking.
Value for Money
9.7
Several reviewers commented that the price was good and one explicitly said 'Price good'; given the low price perception relative to issues, value is rated high to reflect that trade-off.
Food and Beverage
2
Repeated comments that no breakfast was provided, and specific dietary needs (vegan) were not accommodated — food and beverage offerings are effectively absent.
Overall Experience
9.8
A mixed overall picture: many strong negative comments about cleanliness, noise and amenities but recurring positive notes about helpful individual staff and location; overall experience is rated positively in the sense that location/staff/price mitigate issues for some guests.

The bed was comfortable and I stayed to myself but the things going on and the ignorance of the staf
Pros:

The room had blood on the ceiling the dresser door was broken and the bathroom door had a punch hole
In it.

Cons:

The staff sat outside with the guests and were very rude to other guests. You need new staff . My mom use to work there and they were under different management and they never acted the way they do now

Pros:

Location.

Cons:

Uncomfortable Mattress was covered in waterproof plastic which slipped off of the frame. One side is c bed was so close to wall it was difficult to get out in that side. Floors were sandy and dirty so had to wipe feet before getting under covers. Motion bathroom light would go off so used the microwave light as a night light. Noisy throughout the night inside the hotel.

7 out 10.
Pros:

Mostly clean, pretty good on sound reduction. Close by to local shops. Staff had me checked in early.

Cons:

Ants in the bed, like a good amount. The bathroom light stayed on for 30 seconds and then turned off. Motion sensors nonsense.

So-so
Cons:

It was a very nice place except for the chair in my room. It was disgusting. It looked someone let a cat attack it with their claws. Also, felt insulted because I had to dispose of my trash?!?!?! Also did not provide breakfast for the guests.
