Good value, can be noisy

Hotel fine for our one night stay to visit our student. Can be very noisy if your room is on Huger street, especially weekend nights due to traffic. Bed very comfortable. Cleanliness okay, not great. Fitness center disappointing since both treadmills were out of order. Limited things to do. Everyone very friendly. Decent value for price

Great option, great location!

This was my second stay in the last six months and both visits were great! Very accommodating and helpful front desk. They are transparent about road noise, but I travel with ear plugs so no problem for me.

It was away from the crazy campus. Breakfast was mediocre at best! Staff was cranky. Both treadmills were inop. Ice machine inop.

I booked a room with two Queen beds and was given a room with a Queen bed and a pull out couch. I had to sleep on the pull out couch and it was terrible. The hotel said they had no other rooms after making this mistake when we checked in, but the next morning the gentleman checking us out said there was rooms and they could have just given us two separate rooms.
