The photos online were not of the property. I’m not high maintenance but this property was a low end establishment. Post real photos of the place so it’s clear on the deal.

This place was average at best. Breakfast was disgusting
We have been at the Hotel for almost 20 minutes, ate most of the pizza we bought earlier in the lobby.. other guests came and went, but NO ONE is here to check us in.. we even called several times and no one answered
The day time staff member was great, just the over night one was not friendly at all or approachable, lobby could be a lot nicer and breakfast could be better

Most everything was great aside from the condition of my specific room. Cracked window in several places, toilet not properly sealed to the floor, signs of black mold forming in the bathroom, and overall several noticeable signs of previous damage that was given shoddy repair jobs that made the vibe not so great. The room as a whole was clean and the bed was comfortable.

Hotel was average, with worn furnishings, including mattress. I got what I paid for.
Room was dirty. Couldn't turn TV on because no remote. Asked front desk and they couldn't give me a remote. Do not recommend this place

The eggs and sausage were nasty. The taste and texture did not seem like it was real food. The room looked like it had not been updated since 1999. The trim on walls and around doors needed cleaned and painted. The shower had weak water pressure and the design of the shower and curtain allowed water to go all over the floor.
The rooms were clean but the walls were very thin and we could hear everything in surrounding rooms. Pillows were short and thick sort of like a kids squish mellow pillow. Breakfast was provided and adequate.

Nice staff, rooms dated but clean. Quiet. Good stay for the price
The room was clean and the people were polite. Water was soaking the area under the heater/air conditioner, we told the receptionist on check out. We weren’t sure if the water was coming in because of the rain or if it was some other reason.
But most importantly the hotel was close to the University.
The structure of the hotel is apparently made of wood and not concrete. That means you can hear people above you creaking on the floor. The hotel is situated next to a highway entrance or at least it sounds like that. Luckily I am a heavy sleeper. The hallways were painted by a blind man that left white paint all over the carpets. My room stunk of air freshener to disguise the bad smell from a recent occupying smoker and a nasty ceiling looking like it had a toilet leak from above. The room was clean but looked beaten up. Breakfast was akin to prison fair. It felt like folks were living there, not a very safe feeling. All in all the place feels like a low rent poor halfway house. Desk man was nice, staff looked demoralized. My car did not get broken into over night so that was a plus.
