This is a facility used by ASU as student housing, there are multiple signs and murals that say "Remember, we are all students" Hallways have a fresh coat of hot pink paint, love the smell. The room had a strong mildew smell in the bathroom. The room was vintage 1970. $15 per night was not disclosed until we arrived.

Was not ready for it to be a 1960s hotel with extremely outdated colors and decor. I loved the artwork Also very sad that they don't have complimentary coffee for guests.
