Disliked: Cleanliness
The first room given to us had makeup stains on the pillow case and several black hairs between the sheets. We got a new room. New room had a blanket shoved up in the closet, hair in the shower and the mattress was so broken down it sunk in the middle. I was rolling into the middle all night. Before we left for the day, we put the clean room sign on our door. We got back at 7pm and the room was not cleaned. It said this hotel is supposed to help the college students learn hospitality. Their instructor should be fired. This place has so much potential. I emailed to tell them my situation and never heard back. The front desk ladies just work the front desk and have no authority or means to rectify room issues. We bought sheets to put on the bed because I don’t trust they are cleaning the bedding. Will never come back.

Room was clean but there were visible scuffs on the wall and the towel rack was loose. Shower curtain was just slightly too short so water would get out on the bathroom floor when I showered. I stayed 3 nights and the trash was never collected from my room. I put it out in the hallway and it stayed there for two days until I checked out and I have no idea if they got it. I noticed a broken glass in the stairwell and the trash can outside the far entrance was overflowing. I would Not stay here again!

Disliked: Amenities
We were glad that we got a really great deal. It’s a different feel than your typical hotel. The room itself was clean there was lady bugs in it but that didn’t bother us. The hallways were pretty dirty though. It’s a really new place but Seems like it’ is quickly being run down and things like the walls are quickly becoming beat up. Pretty sad
