THIS PLACE IS A DUMP! The room was terrible. Beyond the fact that they had clearly not cleaned (food crumbs on the dresser, trash and debris on the floor), I felt like I was in the basement of my fraternity… stains on the carpets, dust and dirt in every corner, water stains throughout the bathroom, and a terrible smell. The mattress on the bed felt like a pull out couch it was so spring and uncomfortable. And to top it off, the heat would periodically make a loud bang sound, waking us up off and on during the night. I know prices are inflated during football weekends but I can’t believe I spent over $400 for this.

My family stayed for a busy football weekend and had a good time. While larger beds would be highly desirable, the room was spacious with a small kitchen sink and refrigerator. There was a small microwave in the hallway for community use. The shuttle to Beaver Stadium cost $20 per person round trip, with drop off (and pickup) about 200 feet north of the stadium.
