One of the wash machines wasn’t working but it took our quarters. Talked to the front desk, he said we can tried a few more times by ourselves. It didn’t work. It wasn’t helping. Also there is some weird noise started at midnight. Like some heavy metal noise.

Basic room and amenities close to the university. Cable TV selection was good. Fridge stayed cold. Bed was comfortable. Only downside is that cleaning staff would turn off the AC so when you returned, the room would be clean but hot and stuffy!
