It has everything you need in the room, it seems very dated though. Showers were small, somewhat limited night lighting, but at least was warm and moody. Biggest problem was the noise. No privacy, had an angry woman bang my door when I was on the phone at night. She went to front desk and got the manager. Sound bleeds into the hallway very clearly. Not a very private space. Best thing for me was that it had full gym access to the university gym nearby. (Saves you 25$ a day)

The smoke alarm in my room inexplicably came on in the middle of the night. It was unbearably ear piercing for around 30 seconds and then turned off just as I was racing out the door half dressed. The front desk staff called to check on me but the phone didn’t work and so they couldn’t hear me. Also the ironing board was broken and one of the cups was chipped and had lipstick on it.
