Great hotel near campus

The front desk service was exceptional. We enjoyed visiting with the receptionist and she was so helpful with recommendations. The elevator was out of service while we were there but since it is only two floors it wasn't that big of an issue. We enjoyed being able to walk to the football stadium, avoiding the parking hassles!
