Categories

Cleanliness
3.5
Multiple reports of mold/mildew smell, ants and a cockroach, dingy furniture, stained/unclean bathroom mirror and leaking AC leading to condensation — overall notably poor cleanliness.
Service
7.5
Mixed service: several guests praised helpful desk staff and a friendly morning maid, but multiple complaints about an unhelpful/mean manager and an instance of a staff member entering a room without knocking, leaving service uneven but not uniformly poor.
Location
9.5
Frequently cited as a positive: described as 'good area' and close to the Naval Base — location is a clear strength.
Room Quality
4
Frequent issues: uncomfortable or hard beds for several guests, thin blankets, poor shower pressure, door that didn’t lock, AC temperature fluctuations and ceiling AC leakage — room quality is below average.
Amenities
7.5
Basic amenities like microwave, refrigerator, hot water and functioning water pressure were noted positively, though there were complaints about fluctuating AC, lack of towels and occasional missing TV remote — amenities generally functional but inconsistent.
Value for Money
4.5
Multiple comments indicate poor perceived value (e.g., paying for a full night but effectively receiving very little time, missing towels, smell issues) — value is viewed as disappointing by several guests.
Food and Beverage
8
Sparse but positive mentions of breakfast and no negative comments on food/drink — limited data but generally positive.
Overall Experience
6.7
An overall mixed experience: strengths in location and some staff interactions, but notable cleanliness, room quality and value problems produced a middling overall impression.

The manager here sucks!
Pros:

The desk help when we arrived at 5AM was great, and the maid on duty in the morning was too. Since we arrived at 5AM the morning of the 15th instead of Friday the 14th, due to delayed travel by Breeze Airlines, the night help said we didn't have to check out until 11AM the 16th. So we paid $155 for the night, (Night of the 15th) and went to bed. Then we got a call at 10:30, obviously we were still asleep. This call was from the manager, who told us we had to be out by 11AM, same morning. So we paid $155 for 6 hours. He was terrible. I would never recommend your hotel because this was a terrible experience, starting with the plane being 6 hours, so we were up all night and wanted to sleep.

Cons:

We got a call at 10:30 AM, obviously we were still asleep after just checking in at 5AM and being up all night at the airport due to a 6 hour delay by Breeze Airlines. This call was from the manager, who told us we had to be out by 11AM, same morning. So we paid $155 for 6 hours. He was terrible. I would never recommend your hotel because this was a terrible experience. The night clerk told us when we paid at 5AM on the 15th that we didn't have to be out until 11AM the 16th. The night manager kicked us out at 11AM the same day. No discount for a 6 hour stay when we paid for a 24 hour stay.
