First from they put me in had a mattress that should have been thrown out 6 years ago. This thing was so far beyond worn it was like sleeping in an inner tube. Then they put me in a second room in which the electricity didn't work near the bed so I was unable to use my sleep machine. Kind of a noisy location as well

Jail cell

It’s misleading I believe I was getting a more modern room with more space when we walked in. It was so small. The door hit the bathroom door coming in. It’s only open halfway. The room looks like a jail cell. The only thing nice about it. Was the very tiny updated bathroom… will not be back.

Like everyone else said, the outside of the building is not much to look at, but the inside is clean and modern, and most important, the bed is comfy. There are no real amenities here (not even ice), but, pleasantly, there is a hanger to put on your door if you want your room made up. How nice! Also, the location can't be beat--walk to all kinds of food options, shops, ASU. The price is fair. A win.
