The desk attendant was wonderful and the hotel breakfast was very good. The location was great due to proximity to many restaurants, convenience store, coffee shops, Target, etc.
The staff was friendly and helpful. They offered parking in the parking garage next door and explained how to use the QR code so you would be able to go in and out of the garage without having to pay the daily fee each time. The room was clean, beds and pillows were comfy. The free breakfast consisted of a variety of foods such as eggs, sausage, oatmeal, and cereal, yogurt, fresh fruit, donuts, bagels, and a few other things. The breakfast attendant was friendly and helpful. The hotel was close to campus and my son‘s apartment building, and was walkable to many restaurants and bars. I would definitely stay here again.
Good experience. Remodeled and clean.
Will stay here again.

Easy parking. Right next to University and within easy walking distance. Lots to chose from to each. Hotel itself is fantastic. Enjoyed the pool - a little cold but it was 90 outside so nice way to cool off inside.
The area around the hotel is quite loud and busy most hours of the night which made it hard to sleep. The parking is separate as well with a separate parking fee. Not a fan of that. Otherwise, facility was nice and breakfast was good and staff were pleasant.
