Categories

Cleanliness
3.5
Many guests complained about strong musty/mildew smells, visible dirt (roach, rusty fridge, gross bathtub), and generally 'nasty' rooms — cleanliness is a major negative across reviews.
Service
8.1
Mixed but generally positive: multiple mentions of friendly staff and helpfulness, though there are notable service failures (cut key early, slow/unresponsive front desk, inattentive check-in agent). Overall service leans positive for a budget hotel.
Location
9.5
Consistently praised in many reviews for being convenient to attractions and the beach/airport — location is a clear strong point.
Room Quality
4
Numerous reports of poor room condition: uncomfortable/broken mattresses, odors, maintenance issues (broken furniture, leaking sink, non-closing doors, missing light bulbs), and noisy adjacent guests — room quality is below expectation.
Amenities
7
Amenities are present (pool, free breakfast) and seen as positives by some, but suffer from issues (buggy pool, no blow dryer, breakfast running out) leading to a mixed-but-above-average score.
Value for Money
9
Multiple guests cited good price and value, saying it 'served its purpose' for one-night stays and praising the cost relative to location — value is a strong positive.
Food and Beverage
5
Free breakfast is available but frequently criticized as limited, cold, or running out; a few guests noted specific positives (biscuits and gravy) but overall F&B is mediocre.
Overall Experience
8.3
Many reviewers view the hotel as acceptable for a short or budget stay (one night/after concerts) due to location and price, but persistent cleanliness and room-quality issues temper the experience.

It was good for a night, but probably wouldn’t stay longer than that.
Pros:

Location was good, price was good, offered free breakfast.

Cons:

Our room was on the second floor and the hallway and our room had a very musty smell.

Was there for a wedding and the room served its purpose.
Cons:

The mildew smell was better than previous hotel but was still too strong for my liking. Had other guests ask me if I thought the smell was bad as well.

We regretted staying at the Microtel.
Pros:

The free breakfast advertised didn’t have much to offer.

Cons:

The beds were horrible. My mattress felt broken in the middle and the other bed was noisy and uncomfortable. The staff cut our room key off before check out time so both of us couldn’t leave the room at the same time. The place was nasty and some furniture was broken.
