They spent money on making the lobby area and bar area look nice. My room was clean. It's close to the Moody center and safe to walk at night. The worst thing was the mattress. Absolutely horrible. I placed 4 pillows down to make some padding as just laying on it caused hip and low back pain from lack of support after 20 minutes. The mattress is clearly old and worn. I would ignore the plywood frame with wrapping paper around the wood or the pealing wallpaper if I just had a good mattress. Room 524. I dare the owner to try and sleep in that bed.
