If you can afford something else please go there there was mold in the bathroom smelled clean but the more you looked the worse it got bathroom door didn’t shut carpet felt dirty I had to sign a paper saying after 15 minutes of them running my card if I didn’t like the room I can’t get a refund so they know it’s bad
Was very out dated
I stayed here to be close to the moody center it was pretty close to everything.
But beside that probably wouldn’t stay again unless remodeled
Check in was supposed to be at 2 pm and had to wait till 3 pm as the room wasn't clean, rented a non smoking room and the smell smoke was strongly present,didn't change bed sheets, sofa small burns from cigarettes, bathroom was not clean at all. Somke alarm was covered with a glove.....
Shower did not work; hot water was not available for a shave; the front desk was not available when assistance was needed; the room key did not work, etc.
It was terrible. Water stuck in the sink and I asked for another room, the second room did not have the lock!!! They even don't say anything to calm down me
Quite possibly the worst hotel I’ve ever stayed at. Room disgustingly dirty. Lights or WiFi did not work. Pool is green. While hotel is nothing like the photos, and the staff were outright rude when I complained. Avoid at ALL costs.

Disliked: Property conditions & facilities
The photos on-line of the entire place are from the time it first opened, and everything now is so bad that me and my wife cancelled our stay and stayed somewhere else.

Liked: Cleanliness
The motel had a perfect location close to the University campus and also reasonable rates.
Room 210 had a valve problem with the cold water at the bathroom sink. The flow was very slow.
Overall, a good stay with reasonable rates.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
Disliked: Amenities
they need to fix the shower, the rod was broken and they need to fix the bathroom which was running all night, otherwise everything else was perfect
Stayed for two nights, they never came and cleaned the room. Staff not there when I first arrived to check in. No “be right back” sign or anything, property could’ve been abandoned for all I knew.
