Prompt attention, easy checkin, convenient room. Looking for an easy place to stop visiting my kid in University City; Media was very cute and about 30 min out - worked great!

I just needed a reasonably-priced place to get ready for an event I was in the area for and an overnight rest, so I didn't need all the bells and whistles, however I did require the shower to work and zero roaches, and that's where this place fell waaaaaay short. Check-in went fine. The guy at the front desk made it quick and easy, and accommodated my request for a first-floor room. The room was small, but fine for my needs. The bathroom was tiny, with a phone-booth sized shower stall, but appeared clean. I feel like the floors throughout could've used a good wet-mopping as it appeared there were some stains and the corners had some grit build-up, leading me to think they may not deep clean as much as quick sweeps when rooms are turned over. The furniture appeared fairly new, sheets were clean. Room had a weird smell I couldnt place. Also either prior occupant smoked in this non-smoking room or the smell permeated the walls. I was on a time crunch to get ready but the shower wouldnt turn on despite all my trying with a very basic faucet setup, didn't have time for mgmt to play plumber or give me a different room, so I went without and felt gross going to my event. Came back at 11pm to open my door to roaches on the door threshold. Was uneasy going to.sleep but was exhaused. Woke up at 4am to a roach crawling up the wall a foot from my pillow. Grabbed my stuff and got out. Mgr was more concerned about shower than roaches. Stay away!

Meh

First time I came I was impressed. This time not so much. My room had no water pressure, kind of dirty, door was hard to close (so I almost left it unlocked accidentally one night) Then my neighbors were all smoking pot and being loud all night. Not sure I'll be back.
