Categories

Cleanliness
5.5
Multiple guests reported cleanliness issues: stained sheets, a smelly shower curtain, clogged bathtub drain, loose toilet seat, and instances where rooms appeared not fully cleaned or restocked.
Service
8.8
Service repeatedly praised—staff described as very helpful, extremely friendly and accommodating (changed sheets on request, friendly front desk), which is a strong positive in the reviews.
Location
8
Location is noted positively (convenient route to nearby attractions; ‘best place to stay in Lincoln County’), so location scores above average.
Room Quality
6.5
Mixed room quality: some rooms described as renovated, clean and comfortable with comfy beds, but others had thin walls/noise issues, noisy AC, windows/doors not closing or locking, and some rooms felt sparse.
Amenities
6.5
Amenities are mixed: pool and breakfast/coffee were positives, but repeated complaints about the hot tub not working (or cold) and a minimal/poorly equipped fitness center lower this score.
Value for Money
7.2
Overall value is slightly above target for many guests (renovated rooms, good breakfast, comfortable beds), though repeated amenity/cleanliness problems dampen perceived value for some repeat guests.
Food and Beverage
8
Food and beverage consistently praised: hot breakfast, excellent breakfast service, and readily available coffee were noted positively by multiple reviewers.
Overall Experience
6.3
Overall experience is mixed: many positive comments about staff, renovated rooms and amenities like the pool, but recurring issues (cleanliness, hot tub not working, noise) produced several disappointed guests.

Staff was great. Walls need some work to reduce the noise.
Cons:

Walls are too thin one can hear everything in the hallway, the adjacent rooms. The AC unit was noisy kept waking me up.

Pros:

Over the three day weekend we could not find any cabins availble. We were lucky to find a LaQuinta two queen size beds to fit our family. They have amazing coffee ready to use anytime. The pool was a plus. After swimming at grindstone lake we also took a swim in the pool for a couple hours. Location is in route to near by attractions.

Pros:

The staff was very helpful and extremely friendly.

Cons:

The only complaint I have is that the hot tub was not working, I was always look forward to that and always make sure to book a hotel with a hot tub for that reason.

Pros:

As always, the staff was friendly, breakfast was hot and punctual, and even in a busy weekend it was not too noisy.

Cons:

The bathroom might not have been completely cleaned or restocked between guests, but I attribute that to the hotel being packed to the brim for a busy event weekend. Nothing that couldn't be remedied!
