This is a fantastic property with college themed rooms that really make the experience fun. The staff goes above and beyond to make your stay pleasant. The only negative is that the elevators are not working great and could definitely be updated for better customer service. We will be back soon.

Kelly

Liked: Staff & service, amenities
Disliked: Cleanliness
The hotel is in a fantastic location and was largely clean. Given the central location it was very loud with people walking/talking loudly outside late into the night and garbage trucks early in the morning. Additionally, the elevators desparately need to be repaired/replaced. Not sure I would pay the premium to stay here again.

This is a very convenient property close to campus and downtown. The decor is fun, and the rooms are very nicely appointed and roomy. Free parking is a plus. However, be forewarned that the elevators are VERY slow. Also, I ate dinner one night at the bar, and the food was BELOW average so take advantage of other nearby options.
