The room temperature is controlled by management and set at 75° and you cannot open windows so you feel suffocated and cannot get cool.

The university square hotel was a very cheap stay, but this obviously reflected on the property's current state - outdated, some mould growing in the bathroom, and stiff mattresses. This was somewhat expected based on the price but it was rather disappointing and generally disgusting that there were bugs crawling around the room - I found one inside the mini fridge, and one on the shower curtain - no matter what price is being paid, bugs should not be present at any hotel. Aside from that, the hotel was acceptable, also offering ample free parking. I would only recommend staying here if there is proof of a new bug removal treatment hotel-wide.

Staff was friendly and informative It was at night and we noticed that there were homeless individuals in the surrounding area where the hotel is located The Queen beds were clean and comfy The room had a coffee pot with complimentary coffee and cups, along with a microwave; however, the refrigerator was unplugged and hadn't been cleaned The TV and remote worked fine In regards to the environmeant of the hotel, we found it to be peaceful and quiet There was a refundable $50 deposit The hotel staff also accommodated my request for a room on the floor level We did have difficulty with the cards. It had to be swiped several times over before it would register and unlock Check in time was anytime before 12 AM Check out time was a bit confusing because the itinerary said between 10 and 11 AM I was told it was by 10 AM and my grandson was told it was by 10:30 AM It would be a good idea if they updated the information on there website Due to the hotel being a bit old, it had a musty smell which I liked because it reminded me of the old days and how buildings were built back then The price of $75 was reasonable for a 1 day and night stay for two people There were fast food and gas stations in the surrounding area within a few feet to a mile radius. And about 1/2 mile or so from the Valley Children's Stadium All in all, we would book a room there again Thank you for a pleasant stay

The conditions I encountered are completely unacceptable and do not reflect the images or descriptions you advertise. • The pool was completely empty and unusable. • The ice makers were filthy and covered in bird droppings. • The hallways had a strong smell of feces and urine. These unsanitary and unsafe conditions make the hotel unlivable and far from what was promised. I am shocked that the property is allowed to operate under such circumstances. I am requesting an immediate resolution, which includes a full refund and a formal acknowledgment of this complaint. Please advise how you plan to address these issues promptly.
