Disliked: Amenities
This motel is conveniently located, clean, and reasonably priced. It’s been renovated recently, but is pretty bare bones and a bit noisy because of the location on a main road through ASU. It’s nit picking, but combined shampoo/conditioner is an oxymoron. Spend a dollar and provide both separately. And, wooden shutters let in a lot of light at night. Again, no serious complaints, but nothing to get excited about.

Cozy and convenient location
This was a great place to stay near the university. There's a ton of shops up the street that you could walk to or take the little train to and they were popping on the weekend. Staff was also very chill. Loved it, would stay again!

Great but noisy
The staff and accommodations were excellent. Everything was spotless and clean. The decor was postmodern and unique. The rooms could use soundproofing as the sounds from the outside kept us awake.
