There was no more conditioner when I took a shower. They ran out of toothpaste. They didn't clean the room while we were out. The food was good, though, and the staff was super friendly.

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.
