Liked: Cleanliness
The hotel itself was fine. But if you drive a large vehicle, it won’t fit in the valet parking garage so I had to park it myself in their back lot. Which would have been fine, but (1) I was still charged for valet parking that I did not use & (2) the back lot was sketchy; cars weren’t parked straight & there wasn’t much room.

Very clean & room had mini fridge & microwave. There wasn’t an exhaust fan in bathroom so it did steam up & the fixtures showed wear. That’s only reason gave 4/5. I felt very safe & staff was the BEST! Ubers available in mins time.

Not amazing but good enough

Nice hotel. Double queen room was tight. Breakfast buffet was very basic for $17per person. I opted for a cooked to order egg sandwich. All the service people were very friendly and helpful. I just felt like the room was a little small and the whole place needed some freshening up. Location near campus was ideal
