Categories

Cleanliness
7.3
Mixed signals: several guests called the rooms and property 'very clean' and praised overall cleanliness, but multiple mentions of dirty room floors and hallway carpets needing deep cleaning lower the score slightly.
Service
9
Consistently positive comments about staff being nice, welcoming and accommodating (early check-in allowed, friendly front-desk/owner, no pool harassment), supporting an above-average service rating.
Location
8.4
Generally praised: good location, nice area and nearby restaurants; a few notes about a dark entrance off the highway (not on hotel property) slightly temper the score.
Room Quality
7.8
Rooms are often described as comfortable and roomy with good beds, but reports of noisy rooms (sound through walls/doors) and occasional dirty floors produce a mixed-but-still-solid rating.
Amenities
8
Positive mentions of an enjoyed indoor pool and visible security cameras; however, breakfast variety and hallway carpet cleanliness issues reduce the score from excellent to good.
Value for Money
7.9
Standard quality for this hotel tier (not explicitly discussed in reviews), assigned the target overall rating.
Food and Beverage
6.2
Recurring complaint about limited breakfast options and some underwhelming items (e.g., sausage), making F&B the weakest category in guest feedback.
Overall Experience
8.6
Overall sentiment skews positive with many guests saying they 'loved' their stay, would return, and enjoyed amenities; a few strongly negative experiences (noise, cleanliness lapses) are present but do not dominate.
* This sentiment is summarized by AI based on user reviews.

Pros:

The guy who checked me in was very nice and friendly. I think he was the owner. He was kind enough to allow me to check in 2 hours early!! I was so thankful because I was famished from my 3 hour drive
The room was big in size and it was nice and clean.
The bed was comfortable.
I absolutely loved and enjoyed the indoor pool too.

Cons:

Breakfast needs more of a variety. Sausage was a little hard.
