  : Excellent price and location and helpful and friendly staff. Free coffee morning noon and night. Decent breakfast for the price (self-cook waffles, scrambled eggs, sausage, yogurt, dry cereal, etc.) Big fridge and stove top. TV swiveled to face either couch or bed.
  : Persistent repeated difficulties with room thermostat, which malfunctioned every two or three hours. Fixing it required maintenance staff to go onto the roof to reset, but there was no maintenance staff overnight or on weekends. Fortunately, the weather cooperated, so it was not a major problem with temperature between 65 and 75. Mattress was really soft and within 1 foot of the edge one felt like one was about to slide off. As is often the case, cleaning etc was only every other day and pretty minimal. Breakfast ends at 9:30.

  : Comfortable room with nice amenities
  : Across the street from a very busy train line with many trains blasting their horns late at night and very early in the morning. In addition there are some local bars across the street with many loud patrons walking around. There are also many very loud motorcycles and cars revving their engines from 11-1 on Friday and Saturday night. Also there was a gun shot murder on the street near the food truck lot directly across the street around midnight. College student parents should be concerned that this all happens a block from East Campus and their kids walk by this type of environment.
