Cody, 1-night trip

2/10 Poor

After we checked it we went to the room to check it out. It was very dirty with mold on th ac unit , stains on the sheets , and 2 little beds with 3 dirty pillows. Since there was going to be 4 of us we just decided to go find something more appropriate. We should have told the desk we were leaving but we were tired and just wanted a decent place to stay

Paul, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

As cheap hotels go, it was solid. Got a room for the college world series. Beds were comfy, shower was hot, room was clean. My only complaint is that the rooms were very very hot even with the AC on full blast the whole time.

4/10 Fair

Really bad.

Super gross. Linens/towels pretty much all stained. Broken down structures. The first room they put us in AC was broken. Bad smell. Messy hallway. The actual housekeeper did a good job given the terrible situation they're working in.
