Great location and affordable, but rundown

Definitely has cleanliness issues and is a bit rundown, but for an affordable place near lots of convenient location (stores, food, local university) it worked well for me.

The staff was very friendly. The location was very close to downtown, which was where we wanted to spend our time. Our reservation was for a Queen size bed but our bed was definitely a full size. My boyfriend is a big guy so it was difficult to get comfortable on the smaller bed.

When you enter the room, it is nicely clean and prepared, but they never come to clean, change the garbage, bring other towels, soap, or do anything else until I left. Imagine I stayed from Sunday to Wednesday, and nothing changed since I entered the room. I had to go out and find my own soap so I could remain okay. But the place is good, and the staff, parking, and nearby shops are all excellent.

I liked that my room was clean and that the staff was nice. I didn't like that some of the buttons on my TV remote control were hard to press and that there were two flies in my room.

Hotel had convenient parking and the staff was helpful. Our room however was kind of gross. The floor was not swept upon arrival, blankets had stains, the room smelled like marijuana, and it was really humid in the room. When we woke up we both smelled like mildew. The hotel could be awesome if they cleaned better.
