Check in was easy and the lady was super friendly. Our first room the ac wasn’t working , dirty band aid on floor and just not clean. They changed our room. Second room felt better and was tidier. The pool looked like it hadn’t been cleaned in awhile.

Teenagers were allowed to swim in the pool very late at night. Their laughter and play carried to our room on the fourth floor. Called guest services two nights in a row, 11:30 PM and then 11:00 PM. Pool guidelines state closed at 9:30 PM.

We had a corner room which had an alcove off the hallway, providing lots of privacy and quiet. The room included a kitchenette and a table for 4. It would be perfect for an extended stay. The staff was friendly and efficient, recommending a restaurant, providing extra towels, etc. Breakfast was significantly better than the usual buffet. It was a little farther from the university than I thought from the map, and the street had lots of traffic. The hotel itself is a little dated but immaculately maintained.

Awful mattress ruined our following day, as we got no or maybe an hours sleep. Towels were gym grade. Piece of the baseboard fell off in the hall and scared me half to death walking to the bathroom in the dark. Sometimes you just have to look and see if your rooms are being maintained. They picked up the breakfast at 9:30 am instead of 10. Found someplace good to eat breakfast nearby though. Only spent $40 for breakfast, thanks. Coffee was 3am truckstop blend. Can't understand how this place had good reviews. Just Awful.
