Categories

Cleanliness
5.5
Mixed reports: several guests praised 'clean and spotless' rooms, but multiple reviews note stains, suspicious carpet, cat-pee odor in lobby, dirty rooms and general need for deep cleaning — overall below average cleanliness.
Service
8.6
Generally positive: multiple mentions of friendly and helpful staff at check-in; a few reports of abrupt or confused service, but overall staff responsiveness is a strength.
Location
9.4
Consistently praised: many guests cited great, convenient location near the airport/venue, easy access to restaurants and highways — a clear strong point.
Room Quality
6.5
Mixed: comfortable beds and decent room sizes reported, but common issues include stained headboards, ripped curtains, wall stains, poor water pressure and dated fixtures — quality is uneven.
Amenities
6
Below average: several missing or removed amenities (pool gone, no hair dryer, no elevator), limited/closed breakfast area and maintenance issues with lights/plugs reduce amenity satisfaction.
Value for Money
9.4
Viewed favorably for budget travelers: many reviews note 'you get what you pay for', convenient for airport/short stays and overall acceptable for the price — good value if expectations are budget-oriented.
Food and Beverage
5
Poor: frequent complaints about the advertised continental breakfast being closed or reduced to a disappointing 'grab-and-go' bag (store-bought items, frozen sandwiches) and reports of unsatisfactory quality.
Overall Experience
7.2
Mixed overall: conveniences (location, friendly staff, comfortable beds) balanced against cleanliness lapses, limited amenities and poor breakfast experience — adequate for a budget/one-night stay but inconsistent for longer stays.
