What a pleasent experience. The Varsity is on the move. They are sinking some money into this place and it shows. My room was clean, spacious, quiet and completly remodeled. All for $70.00 a night. Friendly staff and a clean well light parking lot was a bonus.

There was NO hot water in our room's shower. We found out one hour before checking out time, so we could not take shower before we leave.

Staff wasn't rude, but not very friendly. The room has recently been remodeled, but some things were not completed or not done correctly. The room wasn't dirty, but housekeeping needs to pay closer attention to things. Little things were left unattended. Not a horrible place to stay for a night.

Hotel checked me in before I arrive. This hotel should not open it’s still under construction and renovation. Tried to give me a room just finish, full of construction dust and heavy paint smell. I did not stay and get my refund from Expedia.

Bed has a finger print of red stuff on it; not sure if it was blood or what, but a “clean” room ready to occupy shouldn’t have that. Also, shower had long black hair in the tub, I’m a bald man. AC didn’t really work, room was 80+ all night.

Disliked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities
The staff were fine, but the room and facilities were awful, even for a freeway-side motel. The bathroom was dirty with holes in the walls, the shower curtain rod wasn't attached to the wall, and there was mold around the floor trim. The exterior door did not seal properly, you could see light around all for edges. Since the door faced the freeway this meant LOUD traffic noise all night. Also, the prices seemed to be jacked up for an event in the town that weekend, adding insult to injury....
