Pros +

  • The location to the University
  • Staff was friendly and helpful.
  • Easy to park and check in and on the surface it looked clean

Cons -

  • The whole experience. The worst considering the price.
  • Photos are enhanced, Property was a bit dirty, the front entrance was very slippery. Location is sketchy, there’s a sex offender halfway house across the street and don’t go to the Sunoco. Shower was slippery.
  • No Wi-Fi. None they say it's an option you have to download an app and you literally cannot log in so you cannot watch what you would like to watch on TV or even the YouTube options that they have on the screen itself you can only watch DirecTV which turns into infomercials after 5:00 a.m.. room appeared clean on the surface but was not dusted and we moved a chair to use it and found an entire bottle of personal lubricant behind the chair and then everything after that just freaked me out. You cannot get extra towels when you request them you have to wait till 7:00 a.m. for every single request.
