Categories

Cleanliness
2
Many reviews report severe cleanliness issues: roaches, mold, dirty/soiled sheets, hair and stains, sticky surfaces and unclean bathrooms. Overall cleanliness is very poor.
Service
9
Mixed but generally positive mentions of helpful and friendly staff (retrieving forgotten items, polite interactions). There are isolated negative incidents (rude staff refusing refunds, slow towel/cleaning response) but most comments praise staff assistance.
Location
9
Consistently praised: convenient location near work, stores and attractions; multiple reviewers explicitly note the location as a key positive and quiet surroundings.
Room Quality
4
Rooms are frequently described as dated, with small/uncomfortable beds, old furnishings, problematic fixtures (broken lights, noisy fridges, leaking shower fixtures) — overall below average condition.
Amenities
8.8
Some strong positives (pool close to rooms, in-room fridge/microwave available). Drawbacks include limited/absent breakfast, ice machine distance for some, pet fees and occasional amenity failures, but overall amenities (pool, appliances) are useful.
Value for Money
8.8
Several reviewers note the price was right and good value; however, extra deposits and inconsistent housekeeping reduce perceived value for some guests. Overall perceived as good value for budget travelers.
Food and Beverage
3
Generally poor: nearly no meaningful breakfast (snack-size items only), coffee pot issues in-room/office and very limited complimentary offerings reported.
Overall Experience
8.2
Mixed overall: many guests appreciate location, price and helpful staff making the stay acceptable for budget travel, but serious cleanliness and some room-condition issues weigh down the experience. Overall acceptable for some but not recommended for cleanliness-sensitive guests.
