This motel was good for...

Liked: We were given a room in the corner which kept some of the noise level down. The room was adequate for one night. The TV worked well and we were able to get local and some premium channels. The shower had plenty of hot water.
Disliked: The sheets and blankets were very thin. The towels were scratchy. The noise outside was loud but I turned on the heater fan to drown out the sounds and it worked for the most part. The bed was hard but I was able to sleep on it.

Highly disappointing.

Liked: Closeness to the University.
Disliked: No breakfast, policy at office was no refund after registering. Room smelled funny. Bugs crawling out from under base board in bathroom and room. Will not stay there again.
