Staff was pleasant and helpful. Breakfast was available each day but not always well-stocked. Pool was closed. Shower water was tepid and water pressure low. A customer was stuck on the elevator for 45 minutes. We stayed here a year ago and it seemed to be in better shape. The best thing was the price.

This hotel was an ideal location regarding proximity to the University and the track meet I was there for. It was a good price - especially considering the stay includes breakfast: (coffe/tea/juice, cereal, toast, some eggs, make it yourself waffles etc). The place is fairly run down (which i knew from the reviews) and the pool was closed (per the health department!) while I was there. The room, though imperfect, seemed clean and the check in/check out easy with helpful staff. I'd stay there again if needing a short stay for cost and convenience to campus, but if you are looking for something "nice" or you have above C+ /B-standards for hotels, this wouldn't be the place for you.

There was a broke lamp, the curtains were broke so they couldn’t close all the way, the tub was damaged and patch with tape, and the shower never got hotter than lukewarm. There was rust on the jet areas of the tub. The staff was super helpful and nice especially when the only working vending machine for drinks wouldn’t work.

This motel was a major disappointment given the rating on this app and name. It's not a very secure location. And next to a very sketchy weekly motel with encampments in the parking lot. My room had a large hole in the carpet, the bathroom sink had drainage issues, and the telephone was dead / nonfunctional. I could not wait to leave.
