Property is great, however, there were a few things that didn’t give it a 5*- slow bathroom sink, TV that was not great- limited selections to watch and it said you could cast to your phone but they don’t have the tv hooked to the internet so you couldn’t use it. Also, since owned by Hilton, they canceled their contract with the in room safe company so you no longer can use the safe. These things are likely not a big deal for most, but couldn’t give 5 star as a result.

Quick overnight stay for a college visit. Loved the room, comfy bed, service location and the vibe. Food was just okay in the bar but the service was great despite the fact that the bartender was all by herself serving the bar and restaurant.

The proximity to the campus can't be beat! Staff was friendly but the walls are THIN! Probably didn't help being located near the elevator the staff used for services.

Food service was not up to par. Bartender does not know how to pour a drink. Your coffee is terrible and should be complimentary in the morning
