Categories

Cleanliness
4
Multiple reviews report serious cleanliness issues: roaches in kitchen and bathroom, strong musty/unpleasant odors, dirty/nasty linens, and visible trash in common areas. Cleanliness is a clear negative in guest feedback.
Service
9
Many guests described staff as friendly and quick to respond; free laundry and responsive service were praised. There are isolated reports of inattentive or distracted front-desk behavior, but overall guest comments skew strongly positive for staff.
Location
9
Location is consistently noted as a positive: convenient, close to outlets and suitable for beach/drive-through stays. Multiple guests explicitly praised the location.
Room Quality
7
Rooms are frequently described as spacious and comfortable with good layouts (double-queen suites, couches). However, there are recurring issues: poor A/C in some rooms, plumbing problems (sink/shower), and isolated pest/odor incidents that reduce room quality.
Amenities
7.5
Free laundry and roomy suites (couch, reclining chair) are appreciated. Negatives include no breakfast at the hotel, a broken microwave in some rooms, and a slow elevator—overall amenities are useful but imperfect.
Value for Money
5
Several guests felt the price did not match the experience (one cited nearly $300 for a night with poor linen and cleanliness issues). Value perceptions are generally below average due to cleanliness and maintenance problems.
Food and Beverage
6.5
Limited F&B offerings mentioned (explicitly 'No breakfast' by guests). No strong positives for on-site dining; overall a slightly below-target score due to lack of breakfast and minimal F&B presence.
Overall Experience
8
Guest experiences are mixed but lean positive: many repeat stays and compliments about space, comfort, and helpful staff, offset by significant cleanliness and maintenance issues that detract from some stays.

Clean comfortable but pesty
Pros:

The rooms were clean and comfortable. Staff was courteous

Cons:

I killed a lot of little roaches, about 8 to be exact. Two in the kitchen area and the rest in the bathroom. I noticed the light globe in the bathtoom had a few dead roaches in it.
When I reported to the staff, they did offer to move us but I declined. Who's to say I wasn't going to see any in the next room.

Pros:

The room was very big and we loved it. I booked it when we was driving up from Tennessee.

Cons:

I didn't like that there was no air in the bedroom and it was very hot in the room. Other than that I loved it.

Overpriced but at least the bed was comfortable!
Pros:

The room was big amd I liked that there was a couch and reclining chair to sit in.

Cons:

The sinks kept getting stopped up and the shower was either scolding hot or ice cold. The microwave didn't work so there was a big clunky one on the counter that took up all the space. There was nowhere to plug in the phones on the nightstands there was 1 plug on 1 nightstand and that was it we didnt wven have a phone in our room and the elevator was very slow.

I would not recommend anyone to stay
Pros:

The location was perfect, about a mile from the outlets,

Cons:

The Linen was nasty. Myself and my spouse was so uncomfortable with sleeping on the linen we had to go out and buy linen just to get a good night rest, That was so unfair to us especially after paying nearly $300 for one night. This was very disappointing
