Very good
Anonymous, Feb 2017
Pros (+) Excellent value for price. Adequately furnished room. Alternate exit/entrance on second floor leading directly to parking lot behind the building. Solid TVs with HDMI ports, good for bringing your own media.
Cons (-) Thin comforter, thin walls are my two biggest issues. Wifi can be spotty at times. Other than those things, I have no complaints especially considering the price
