The Bad
Among the reviews used for this analysis, many guests expressed disappointment with their stay at this hotel. Many guests claimed that they would not return, nor would they recommend the hotel to others.

Many guests described the in-room furnishings and decor as dated and in need of upgrades. Many reviewers complained about dirty and stained carpeting, while several other guests described a general lack of cleanliness in their rooms. One reviewer discovered spills on the bathroom counter from a previous guest, while another guest said that she, "didn't even want to touch the door handles."

Many reviewers thought that the selection at the free breakfast was poor. A couple of guests noticed that oilfield workers accessed the breakfast at 6 am and there was little food left for guests attending the breakfast between 7 am and 10 am. These guests also mentioned that breakfast items were not adequately replenished.

While this hotel has a smoke-free policy, several guests complained about smelling cigarette smoke in their rooms.

Several reviewers were disturbed in their rooms by train horns blowing throughout the night, while a couple of guests could hear noise from neighbouring rooms.

A couple of guests said that the Wi-Fi service was unreliable, while a couple of other reviewers noted that the in-room air conditioning was ineffective.
