The location was great! The room was a nice size.
Parking system. Additionally my bathroom in the doors and corners of the shower looked somewhat grimy and gross.

The location was good.
The trash was overflowing the dumpsters outside, where you had to walk to go from the parking lot to the entrance. It smelled incredibly bad. The parkin got also smelled terrible. The room wasn't very clean and we skipped using the shower as it didn't look clean and was quite old. The room and hotel was shabby and less than the 3 stars given on the booking.com website, and not worth the price at all. I wouldn't recommend this hotel to anyone.

Location was great. Rooms were clean. Nice tvs. Parking was expensive, but convenient. Nice shower and we were able to get extra towels and washcloths as needed.
Very unorganized. Staff must not have been trained, because at check in, not everything was covered. Had to go back multiple times. Witnessed many upset people. Breakfast was very underwhelming - it was included in our stay, but the sign said it was $16! Glad we didn't have to pay for it, feel bad for the people that did. The beds were very firm, maybe good for those who prefer it that way. I usually don't leave a bad review, but was very disappointed. Not worth $400!! :(

Proximity to my child’s dorm and Main Street. Easy parking. Very helpful staff comfortable bed.
The first room I was in smelled of cat urine so they had to move me and the refrigerator didn’t work. I felt like the floors were a little sticky and the floors around the elevators were dirty and never cleaned during a four-day stay

Very convenient location particularly if you are visiting the University. Comfortable rooms and functional facilities. The pool can be really nice, specially during the heat months.
The breakfast (both paid and complementary) feel just the same average quality limited option.

Great location. Plenty of space in rooms. Facility was pretty clean.
Breakfast wasn’t worth $17.
