Categories

Cleanliness
4
Multiple reviews mention bedbugs/cockroaches, cigarette smell, old carpet and lobby odors — cleanliness is a clear weak point.
Service
9
Several guests call staff friendly and helpful; a few isolated check-in/front desk issues noted but overall service is frequently praised.
Location
9.5
Numerous positive comments about convenient/ excellent location (near highway, stores, restaurants) — location is a strong asset.
Room Quality
7.5
Rooms described as clean and comfortable by some, but others report small restrooms, cigarette smell, door issues, and mismatch of bed type — mixed but overall acceptable.
Amenities
8.5
Indoor pool and breakfast are frequently mentioned positively; lack of shuttle and some parking feedback lowers this slightly.
Value for Money
7.1
Mixed perceptions: some find it reasonable, while at least one guest felt overcharged for a basic room — slightly below target.
Food and Beverage
9
Breakfast repeatedly praised (specific items liked), with only minor complaints such as an early cut-off time.
Overall Experience
7.8
Guest experiences range from very positive (longtime repeat guests praising staff, pool, breakfast) to very negative (pest issues, bad smells). The overall mixed-but-leaning-positive impression is captured by the target rating.

It was and is always a great place to stay.
Pros:

I have been choosing to stay at this location for many years now at least 5, and I find the staff at least 2/3 that I have been dealing with very helpful and pleasant, however I found one of the persons on front desk when I checked in was not the most pleasant as the other two, I have dealt with for the many years I have been staying at this location.
I loved and appreciated the chicken patties at breakfast as I don't eat pork, that was a treat! As usual the pool, breakfast and appearance of the hotel was great, and I have and will continue to choose and recommend this location always.

Cons:

I still wish that this location would consider offering a shuttle service to the stores/restaurants across the street / highway from this location. Other stores/restaurants are in walking distance which is a great convenience.

Terrible experience.
Pros:

Location was very good for me

Cons:

Cocroaches all over the room. They were huge. Staff offered to change the room or spray it. It was sprayed but they were still there.

There was awful smell in the lobby suring the whole stay.
