7.5
Mixed signals: many guests praised clean rooms, but several reports of unclean areas (trash under furniture), dirty windows, unclean sheets on arrival and even a bed-bug incident lowered overall cleanliness sentiment.

9.5
Consistently positive: many guests noted excellent proximity to attractions (zoo, science center, restaurants) and convenient walking options, making location a clear strength.
Room Quality
8
Mixed: several guests enjoyed roomy, comfortable beds and well-appointed rooms, but there are complaints about not receiving booked suites, poor pillows, plumbing issues and an isolated bed-bug report.

Generally good: popular breakfast offerings, 24-hour coffee, pool and waffle station were appreciated; parking policy/charges and occasional cleanliness of public areas temper the score.
Value for Money
8
Mixed value impressions: many called it great value and enjoyable stays, but some guests complained about being charged for parking and one comment about an overpriced room.
