Categories

Cleanliness
4
Multiple reports of dirty rooms: stained tubs, unclean toilet seats, cat hair and flies, filthy sofa-bed mattress and grimy shower curtain — cleanliness is a clear weakness.
Service
9
Mixed but often strong front-desk interactions (e.g., named auditor praised), generally helpful staff noted and easy check-in reported; some service failures (slow housekeeping, breakfast mistakes, refusal to waive cancellation) reduce a perfect score.
Location
9
Frequently praised — convenient, close to highway/venues and noted by many as a primary positive of the property.
Room Quality
4
Room issues reported beyond cleanliness: filthy sofa-bed mattress, food left in cabinets, leaking toilet base and flooding, noisy rooms — room condition frequently disappointing.
Amenities
8.5
Basic amenities are limited (several guests noted no fridge, no microwave, no in-room coffee maker; parking often charged), but comfortable beds and functioning AC reported by some — amenities are serviceable though not comprehensive.
Value for Money
8.5
Price and convenience (location, decent bed) deliver perceived value for some guests; however, charges for parking, breakfast errors, and denied refund requests are recurring complaints affecting perceived value.
Food and Beverage
4
Breakfast/service issues are frequent: breakfast not included or charged but not delivered correctly (e.g., only 2 breakfasts for 3 guests), very limited packaged items; overall food offering disappointed multiple guests.
Overall Experience
9
Mixed guest experiences: many commend location, comfortable beds and friendly front-desk staff, while others report serious cleanliness and breakfast/service failures. Aggregate experience skews positive due to strong location/staff impressions despite notable operational issues.
