The stay was better than expected. It’s an older property with outside entrances, but the room was quiet and the bed was comfortable. I would definitely stay there again.

Outside of hotel is nothing special, but room was nice enough and not too far from campus. It’s also nice to have a complementary breakfast, they don’t have everything you might want or expect from a higher end chain (I didn’t see yogurt or fruit), but it’s nice to have something available, including coffee.

Clean room, but the bathroom was rather small. Almost had to stand in the tub to shut the door. Breakfast was good. The coffee was bitter to my taste (but I don’t drink it very strong).
