Room was ok, but not cleaned well. It had a lingering smell that you might expect in a grandparents home. The shower had rust and was not used during our stay. Overall decent if you need it for a night, but wouldn’t recommend for a longer stay given the price.

They had a malfunction with smoke detectors and it went off at 6 am, and again a couple hours later (for testing purposes).

I liked the proximity to NIU. The room was nice and clean. The water in the bathroom got hot quickly. The fan and the light in the bathroom was rather noisy however and the light would not come on without the fan which was a slight drawback. But overall, I was pleased with the room and cost of the room.

The elevator and common areas were really dirty. The room was clean enough but there was only one towel, one washcloth, etc. and the surfaces in the room really needed to be wiped down. No hair dryer.
