Disliked: Amenities, property conditions & facilities

I had to change rooms multiple times. They couldn't get the door to open on the first room and the air conditioning did not work in the second room. The area is fairly rough and it is not near the actual campus. I am not sure how it is a Red Roof plus...it is an a standard Red Roof Inn with doors to the outside. The Red Roof Inn plus by the convention center is very nice. The guy working the front desk was nice.
