Don’t believe the pictures, half of the units are “residents”. Our door lock did not work and had been drilled out. The security lock on the inside was connected to trim which was coming off and not secure. The floors were dirty. There were stains in the walls and beds. We were booked two nights and only made it in the room about two hours before we moved on to a clean and secure hotel.

The location was great, close to many things. However the area was not great. We never felt in danger but there were more people wondering around than we would prefer. Also, the bottom half of the motel was a motel, the upper floor was residential rental. When we walked in the room, it looked nice and I was like ok this is not too bad, then we started killing spiders and there were live bugs and dead bugs everywhere. Cobwebs in the ceiling the floor was dirty. We would not walk around without our shoes on.

The Varsity is an older motel property that has been nicely updated with fresh finishes. The beds were comfortable, as were the linens and pillows. Room darkening was not great, but we enjoyed our stay and it was a good value for the price. We thought the room was cute and cleverly updated.
