I wish I had read these other review earlier. They were right on. The place is a dump. The motel has doors that won't close, broken televisions and air conditioners and is infested with cockroaches. It has also changed its name to University Inn and Suites, so beware! The owner/on site manager is a true con artist! When I called to reserve the room for my group of architecture students he quoted me one price, but when we showed up (after paying a 50% deposit) he said that the price was now higher and insisted either we pay more or go someplace else. He tried to gouge our group for extra fees at every chance he got, insisting on extra room cleaning charges and fees for additional towels. He also locked us all out of our rooms when we were at breakfast and demanded $10 per room for re-entry so we could retrieve our suitcases! When I asked him to inspect our rooms at check-out (to avoid the possibility of him fabricating damage) he threw a fit and told me that even if he did not see damage now, he may see it later and will charge our credit cards. He is a certifiable lunatic! This is all totally true, and I have two other faculty members and thirty students to corroborate these facts. I am considering reporting the motel to the Better Business Bureau.
