Cleanliness
4
Multiple reports of leaks, damp bedding, cigarette burn holes, musky odors, visible burn marks and generally poor bathroom cleanliness (disgusting tub, slow drain) indicate below-average cleanliness.
Service
9
Mixed but often helpful staff: several guests praised friendly front desk and a staff member who promptly retrieved a lost item; isolated negatives include slow check-in and a brusque attendant or management attitude.
Location
10
Repeatedly described as excellent location with easy access and ample parking; many reviewers cited the location as a primary positive.
Room Quality
5.5
Beds were frequently described as comfortable but rooms suffer from issues: dark rooms, cigarette smell in some, door/access problems, missing/faulty smoke detector and general wear (burn marks, loose bathroom fixtures).
Amenities
8.5
Basic amenities are good (free/ample parking, big TV, renovated rooms reported) but some on-site features are broken or lacking (vending machines not working, occasional missing safety fixtures).
Value for Money
8.3
Multiple guests called out competitive pricing and good rates; despite shortcomings, many felt the price was a positive aspect of their stay.
Food and Beverage
7.4
Standard quality for this hotel tier (not specifically mentioned in reviews).
Overall Experience

Mixed overall: strong location, comfortable beds and some helpful staff balanced against cleanliness, safety/noise concerns and maintenance issues that negatively impacted several stays.

Not good.
Pros:

Big tv

Cons:

Air conditioner leaked water. I noticed when I went to adjust temp. Walked in water.
Night shift desk person said they would look into it next day. I asked for towels to put down.
Slept in damp environment and started sneezing when I woke up.
Also top bed sheet had holes in it. Like cigarette burn holes
