I wish I could say we were pleasantly surprised, but we were not. We only stayed because we had no other options for our Freshman's Family Weekend at University of Delaware. The room was rundown and very very outdated. The property was ill-kept. The swimming pool was filed in with concrete, the exterior was covered in mildew and falling apart in places. In the room, the sink & faucets were dirty (we cleaned them ourselves and saw the scum), the refrigerator was dented and scratched, the bed was very uncomfortable. The door had a huge gap in the casing which is where the crickets that we found in the bathroom probably came in. I read other reviews after we booked siting bedbugs and cockroaches and we did a check before bringing our bags in and found none so we stayed out of desperation, but we lived out of our bags for the 2 nights we stayed instead of unpacking. We will not be staying there again as we will get sooner notice of University events going forward. I wish we could report better, but we cannot.

We had room 218. First day we walked in it looked ok. I did a good look through the room. It look good. I waoke up in the middle of the night to to the bathroom and I started to see a roach here and a roach there. Before I knew it there were crawling. I was like nope we are leaving. We packed our bags and headed out of there! They need a full on extermination! Possibly multiple times until they are gone. Matter fact they need all new funiture and beds! Never again!

Like a horror movie

I didn't even bother staying in the room. As soon as you pull up to the place it looks so neglected and almost abandoned. I checked in and went up to the room and it was dark and smelled like an old ashtray. The bathroom was disgusting. I've seen porta-potties nicer than this. I came with my kids and their mom for parents weekend at UDel. I didn't even bother having them come out of the car. I drove across the street to the Red Roof Inn and booked a room.
