A great experience and would stay there again!
Pros:

location was great. I was able to do early check in and was close to the campus to make the football game with the family. It was a great experience

Cons:

I don't think we had a bad experience the room was great and the service was great. Location itself didn't seem very safe but proximity to campus was great.

Not worth the money or the location, don't stay here!
Pros:

The staff was responsive when talked to, but overall were not around and seemed to be needing to deal with a lot

Cons:

Comfort - the beds were awful and painful to sleep on with squeaky spring mattresses. The blankets were rough and not comfortable. Luckily a good amount of pillows though
Cleanliness - dirty floors when we showed up. They cleaned them the next day, but there were bits on the floor that couldn't be removed. They said it was because of glue from when the floor tiles were installed. Just looked messy and gross. There was also stray hairs left on the bedding
Noise - through the whole night there were LOUD arguments coming from both outside and in rooms around us with swearing and yelling for both nights we were there. It was very disruptive and disturbing
Breakfast - minimal foods available and very little of it. Basic quality too
A/c - inconsistent and loud when used. The room alternated between being too hot and too cold
Safety - the door seemed flimsy and had a safety lock that didn't seem like it would do much if someone tried to come in. Also there was a window in the bathroom that was small, but wasn't able to be locked. Since the room is open to the street, that was concerning

Gross, smelly, outdated, dirty, but in a great location
Pros:

It was one block away from the place that I needed to be the following morning. So that was excellent

Cons:

It was a smelly old outdated “no tell Motel” that was given a corporate website and flatscreen TV along with a mattress topper. But putting a new tv and a 3 inch topper on a mattress doesn’t make a cheap roadside motel into a luxury brand hotel.

Pros:

Great location. Walkable to most amenities. Bedding and stay was comfortable. Decent breakfast. Only thing is coffee machine was too basic but the breakfast choice made up for the need.

Cons:

At first I was given a ground floor unit which was not that clean and I insisted first floor unit which met my expectations. No vending machine for late night thirst.

Prima faciliteiten, slechte hygiene.
Pros:

Locatie was goed, makkelijke check-in en ze konden onze bagage bewaren na check-out.

Cons:

De kamer was niet goed schoon. Er zaten vlekken in de handdoeken, de wasbak was niet schoon en de wc bril was vies.
