For the great price and location to TSU, it’s the best hotel in the area.. Lobby is super nice and has a restaurant/bar. The rooms and property were clean, and they even text you to make sure everything is up to your standards. Will be the only place I stay when visiting my son at school.

I could describe everything in one word: terrible. I forgot something and they wouldn't return it; I had to keep asking for towels and toilet paper. The breakfast was awful, and one day they didn't even serve it. If you're traveling with family and want to have a good time, don't go to this place.
