Good overal for the price; room smelt like mold.

Front desk lady was very nice. The hotel gave us a free gator bag since our daughter was moving in as a freshman. Food was good. The only bad part was that The room smelt like mold and the carpet was damp.

Affordable and very clean, and nice staff, however, our room had a strong musty smell and the bathroom definitely was showing signs of age, broken tiling and the tub/shower, while clean, seemed like it should be replaced. We couldn't switch rooms because it was sold out.
