Disliked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities
The university square hotel was a very cheap stay, but this obviously reflected on the property's current state - outdated, some mould growing in the bathroom, and stiff mattresses. This was somewhat expected based on the price but it was rather disappointing and generally disgusting that there were bugs crawling around the room - I found one inside the mini fridge, and one on the shower curtain - no matter what price is being paid, bugs should not be present at any hotel. Aside from that, the hotel was acceptable, also offering ample free parking. I would only recommend staying here if there is proof of a new bug removal treatment hotel-wide.

The lobby, rooms and area was so smelly. The a/c was not working properly and it was so hot in the room. I had to change the room, that was also same and eventually I ended up moving to another hotel. This hotel was not at a safe place even. You can see homeless people all around!!!
