“The budget-conscious will find a spot to rest near the University area, though some aspects clearly reflect the price point; be prepared for a no-frills experience. What I observed suggests prioritizing cost savings over modern comforts or pristine conditions. This is a straightforward option if location and budget are your primary concerns.”
