very good value if you are not looking for some ritsy hotel. The room was clean and no icky smells. the staff was very friendly and helpful. It is right next to the highway, which the address shows, but we didnt hear the road noise from inside the room. I would stay here again

My husband and I frequently travel for business and pleasure and we both agreed this was the worst place we have ever stayed. For starters, the noise from the highway is overwhelming. I could hear it even with earplugs. Also it did not help that we could hear the fighting couple next door all night long. After a day of walking around the city we just wanted to have a nap and relax before dinner. Too bad for us. And too bad for us that night when the noise got even worse. If you are at all sensitive to noise do not stay at this place.

As for the price, I did not think it was a good value. I have stayed at many places in this price range in other cities and I felt ripped off. Partly this was due to the fact that they say on their website that they welcome pets, but do not list a fee. At other places I have stayed if there is an extra fee, they list it. In hindsight, I should have called to confirm before I booked, but I still felt they were being deceptive. I also say this because their advertised price outside the hotel is not honored; a young woman wanted a room and had stopped because of the advertisement. Yet their rate was at least $10 higher for one person. All in all, on the one hand, their fees are not outrageous, on the other hand, it would be much better if they were up front about them. Again, I've stayed at other places in this price range and do not feel it is a particularly good value.

Also, I'm big on walking when I visit a city and you could not walk anywhere. As someone else mentioned, "the university/downtown" title is somewhat deceptive. It is reasonably close by car, but not really possible to walk.

I'm shocked this place gets so many good reviews. Perhaps they're written by 20 year old people who just want a place to party and crash? idk The staff seemed nice to the other guests so I can see why people would speak highly of them- although I didn't see anyone name Milli or Kirsten. Perhaps I had a bad experience because they are no longer there? Or their day off?

Pro:
Clean room
$69/night
friendly staff

Con:
right on I-35 = loud
outdated furnishings & old, cheesy TV with few channels

I just needed a cheap room for a quick one night stay & that is exactly what I got. If you are wanting/needing anything more than a clean bed, look elsewhere.

This hotel is 10 minutes away by freeway from downtown and from the university (if traffic is good).

The hotel is VERY basic: it's basically clean, the beds aren't too uncomfortable for just a night. But if you're staying longer than that, I would recommend you go anywhere else.

Service was basic: they had a crib for us to use, but front desk staff was rude about it (I had called ahead to confirm it and request it for our room; when we showed up they claimed I hadn't and they had given it to someone else to use that night. I understand if they only had one and someone else had already claimed it, but they didn't have to act like I was lying!). The property also shut off water for two whole days during our stay. I've never had that happen in any other hotel/motel I've ever stayed in.

In short, our stay there was just demoralizing.
