"I had a couple issues during my stay but the staff handled everything they could. The first was that the flushing mechanism on my toilet broke and it would not flush. I was going out for the evening and by the time I got back it was fixed. I really didn't like how high the beds were off of the floor. I had to jump up to get in the bed. If I sat on the edge of the bed my feet were at least 6 inches off of the floor. Lastly the last night I was there (it was a Sat. night), someone on the second floor made a few very loud bangs on the floor (like dropping something heavy on the floor). It woke me up a couple times. Breakfast was satisfying but because a men's sports team was staying there they all ate breakfast at the same time and hogged the waffle maker so I had to eat other things. But all in all my stay was a good one."

Also, the shower did not drain well and water was everywhere. However, the shower had hot water and the water had a lot of pressure, and breakfast was very good!"
