Great location near the university, only a ten minute walk to campus--this made attending a conference there very easy. But the walls were so thin we could hear people talking and partying in the rooms around us. This place accepts pets, and we had people with dogs in the room next to us--barking into the night. One of our friends was allergic to dogs and they didn't tell her that her room had had dogs in it--even though she specifically insisted on a room that was pet-free. When they finally switched her, her room was infested with ants.
The worst thing about this motel was the wifi connection. It went in and out, was never strong, and really prevented us from getting our work done and this was a major problem since we were on a working trip. The people at the desk are a bit rude sometimes, and not very helpful. The room was fairly clean, but make sure you bring your own conditioner, as they only have a little (low-quality) shampoo.
Nice flat screen TV, but the rooms are kind of dark and dingy and overall this place just needs a makeover. But it's a great deal in comparison to paying a lot of money for a fancy hotel, if you're on a budget.
