Good news : Everything from here is a downhill walk. Everything was clean, modern, and in good repair. My first floor single on the all female floor was very cozy. Window opened. Desk top fan provided. No air conditioning. The first day my room was VERY hot when I returned because the summer sun was beating into my room. The weak link of the room were the curtains which did not completely block out the city lights. The only electrical outlet was behind the refrigerator. I wish the door into the community shower room door was secured with a keyfob like the front door was. The shower room had three large stalls and three sinks which were clean and modern.

Parking is only available from 5 pm until 7 am. When I arrived at 3, I was unable to check in because they were unable to offer me parking. When I came back at 5, I was told I could only park if I moved my car by 7, creating an unexpected early morning for me. There is no A/C in the rooms. It was 95 that day and I was given a northwestern room on the fourth floor that no one had bothered to close the blinds on. They also prevent the windows from opening fully. It was so insufferably hot that I lay on the bed in my underwear with the door propped open - so much for a private room. I didn't fall asleep until 3 because of the heat. The staff were also rude when I checked in. The bedding and showers were clean. Without a car and with a room on the other side of the building and/or not at the height of summer, I'm sure staying here would be fine.
