Clean & comfy - reasonable rates - great location!

An overnight stay with two friends as we were in Kent to attend an event. Check-in was easy; the front desk person was friendly and informative and helped us with parking and more. Our room with two queen beds was spacious and clean. The beds were very comfortable. The bathroom was spacious and the shower very easy to find the right settings. Loved Pearl the Squirrel statue in the lobby. Parking in the garage across the street was a breeze. Walkable to the KSU campus. Restaurants for dinner and breakfast within a couple blocks. For the price, this was really the perfect choice for our hotel stay.
