They are clean and they are helpful they are really good they are nice hotel room is comfortable to stay in the one thing I didn’t like when I was there for 4 days the maids didn’t even come and change the beds or give me ant towels or wash rags but they was good I would rather keep comin back there

Hotel

The clerk gave someone a key to my room, who broke in while I was sleeping and robbed me blind. Nice little scam they have going there. Fun times. Upside, some of my property was recovered a year later when the criminals were finally arrested committing other felonies. I'm lucky I wasn't killed, no exaggeration.

Got robbed at this hotel

Who must be in charge of management of this place now?  I recall a nice Korean couple who had it as recently as twelve years ago, but I assume they must've been naive about the area the motel is in and the clientele it might be picking up.  I stayed here twice, in late 1995 and 1997..  I liked the convenience it featured to the university nearby.  My first stay in 1995, with very courteous staff, was pleasant overall, but my second stay a little less so.  Beds were very comfortable both times.  Upkeep of the street, alongside a technical college, going up towards Ludlow, seemed entirely satisfactory both times.  I assume the property to have been built probably during the late 1960's or shortly thereafter.

The room in 1995 was clean, the staff friendly and courteous, and the only thing that seemed curious is that there was a bar downstairs, but nothing about it that rang off any alarm bells.  My first night in 1995 there was a loud party going on next door and I had to have my room changed to where i could get some sleep at nearly 4 AM.  The third night at the end of that weekend I spotted a girl and a john exchanging money or something to indicate something was going on.  I called Cincinnati police, but they hardly did anything. The door to my room did not work well, but other than that, upkeep seemed nearly as good, if not quite so decent as my first stay there.  One other lodging i checked out along Central Parkway, closer to MLK, was leasing out rooms by the hour and looked dark and really dingy.  It today is gone, along with a Travelodge that used to be along the same stretch of road.   There is now a Rest Inn that at best I vaguely recognize by observing Google Maps.

Needless to say, after reading the reviews I've consulted on several websites, this no longer seems like a safe or better than halfway sanitary place to stay, if even that.  I scratch my head as to think or consider how management could still be the same today as it was some years back.  I can tell that there is perhaps a need for a reasonably affordable place to stay for entering UC students, but perhaps that is lacking now.  I would have laughed at you if you told me an expensive Fairfield Inn along Calhoun and a Hampton nearby on Vine near campus would one day  go up, 

An investment in renovation and installing 24 hour security on the property may be the only hope for this property today, even if all this means a little raising of the rates to stay there.  A shuttle for to and from campus might come in handy as well.  As just an aside, what is the housing project that is just a block or two away supposedly?  (Is there one really?).

Where is there now a decent budget place to stay near campus?

Budget host is a decent motel for the 70$ something price tag. The parking was great and readily available and the service staff is quite friendly. However, the place definitely needs cleaning and renovation. There are weird smells and the linen made me itch a lot - probably bugs. Even the bathroom needs a lot of redoing.
