We love this little hotel! Everyone is so friendly. The sweet lady who makes the breakfast, is very shy, but does a great job of making sure there is plenty of HOT food and the cold food is cold. My only complaint is, the hotel itself needs to be better maintained. Our bathroom has some tiles missing and some that needed repair as well as there has been a repair started but never finished. However, this has no bearing in the wonderful people who work there.

Good overal for the price; room smelt like mold.

Front desk lady was very nice. The hotel gave us a free gator bag since our daughter was moving in as a freshman. Food was good. The only bad part was that The room smelt like mold and the carpet was damp.

Affordable and very clean, and nice staff, however, our room had a strong musty smell and the bathroom definitely was showing signs of age, broken tiling and the tub/shower, while clean, seemed like it should be replaced. We couldn't switch rooms because it was sold out.
