The building is old and run down. The room was not ready at 3 p.m., but by 4:15 was available and adequately cleaned (except for the carpet, which was so stained and grubby that I kept my flip flops on for the duration of my stay. Internet reception was strong. Close proximity to the university, shops, and restaurants was very helpful. Melissa was pleasant and provided missing items (drinking glasses, toaster, egg flipper, fan) on the fifth day of my week-long stay. Very comfortable bed. I would say that in this case, you do get what you pay for.
