Multiple compliments for staff (diligent desk resolution, named staff Ed and Ginger praised as friendly/helpful). Some isolated negative experiences (booking not accepted, poor response on wifi compensation) but overall staff described as attentive.
Location

Convenient for highway travelers and stopovers (close to highway, good distance), but several guests reported significant freeway/truck noise affecting sleep.

Guests liked the newness, comfortable rooms and small amenities (bath light), but cited issues: mirror placement, lack of closet, AC blowing warm air when off, and sound intrusion.
Amenities

Breakfast and 24-hour fresh-brewed coffee were strong positives; pool present but unused. Negative notes: limited ice machine access, no in-room microwave for some, and at least one report of wifi outage.
Value for Money

Described as good location and price, suitable for one-night stopovers; many guests felt the stay matched expectations and would return, supporting a strong value perception despite occasional service lapses.

Breakfast repeatedly called 'very good' with a good variety and individually wrapped items; complimentary 24-hour coffee was highlighted as a notable plus.
Overall Experience

Majority of stays were positive with repeat guests and plans to return; overall experience tempered by recurring noise/soundproofing issues and a few service/amenity failures (wifi, ice machine).

FABULOUS, WILL BE BACK!
Pros:

We stayed at this hotel when it first opened and therefore stayed again this time because of our previous experience and were not disappointed. Everything was great, just like last time! Actually, ironically, were given the exact same room!

Will NOT stay again.
Cons:

The internet was down for our entire stay. Meaning the TV didn't work. It was 100 degrees that weekend and we wanted to come back, cool off, and watch our show. But couldn't connect. I went to the desk 4 times to ask if they knew when it would be back on. (At least an hour between each visit) 5th visit i asked if there was any kind of discount or anything they could give for the bad experience. And was turned away with less than a full explanation. Available wifi was one of the amenities and it was not given to us
