Everything was great! Only problem is that we were led to believe breakfast would be included with our stay, and when we got there they told us it was no longer included. Bummer

The standard ("deluxe") rooms are very small, and the one I got was a near windowless cave, with just a tiny round sailboat window, about 6-10 in in diameter. Definitely sub-par product for what is expected in a US hotel.

The convenience and proximity to campus. It was clean and quiet. The problem we had was when we entered the room the smell of cleaning chemicals was so strong. It was overwhelming. I’d never experienced anything like that. Made us nauseous. The room is too small and windows don’t open so the use of that much spray or whatever is inappropriate.
