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.

Hotel was in a terrible area. The clerk was rude not sure if it was due to him not really understanding English. Tub didn’t work. Breakfast had hair in it. Glad it was 1 night and next time I won’t try and save money. And for some reason key card stopped working.

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.
