Lipstick on a pig
If you put lipstick on a pig, it's still a pig. This hotel is in a great location, near campus and the mall. But it's old, in need of major structural repair (new paint and appointments don't cut it) and the rooms need some sound proofing. My son, a soon to be Huskie, and I stayed one night and were awakened by noise coming from the room above us at 3:30 AM. It sounded like a heard of elephants. Our room was across from the dining area and the sounds of breakfast attendees easliy passed through our not well sealed door at 6 AM. The two women who run the place are sweethearts. Bless them, they do the best they can with what they have and warned us to next time stay in one of the upper rooms. The place is the best deal in the area, but stay in an upper room and ask them to turn up the heat on the waffle maker (I like mine crisp not soggy).
