This hotel is just meh. It's not dirty, but they are doing construction so it looks raggedy. But the food was good, the rooms are decent. Clean enough to feel comfortable to sleep. The beds are comfy. The windows are extremely tiny. Lol do not expect a view here.

Loved this hotel and would certainly stay again. Room was very clean and comfortable. Nice bar and restaurant on the first floor. I didn't experience it myself as I rode with someone and he dropped me off while he parked, but he did note the parking garage wasn't the easiest to deal with. Again, I didn't see the issue for myself but wanted to note it. Otherwise, everything was perfect.

The restraunt was phenomenal. The thermostat in our room was not adjustable so we were a bit cold with no extra blankets in the closet and only a thin one on the bed. All off the pillows were extremely thick and firm which doesnt leave you many options. Sleeping wasnt great.

Clean, comfortable, and convenient, but pricey.

The hotel itself was very nice. Clean, comfortable, and conveniently located. The restaurant was a bit pricey, but the food was amazing. Unfortunately the issues we experienced with our room resevations during our stay caused much confusion with the staff. We booked through Hotels.com and had multiple reservations in the system due to the inability to modify our original reservation to extend our stay. Although we did not have to physically move rooms, we had to return to the front desk each day to "check out and back in" to our rooms and have our key cards reset during our three night stay. Additionally, the housekeeping staff was not aware of how long we were staying and continuously entered our room despite the fact we were not scheduled to check out until Sunday. They even entered prior to checkout time and even came in to clean after being told we were not checking out until the following day and to stop entering the room. It was a hassle and not worth it for the price of the hotel, additional daily fees, and pricey parking fees.

This was a very average hotel. There was nothing that impressed, nor anything that dissapointed. Things were generally clean, the room had a bit of a mildew smell, they do add on a $40+ 'destination' fee, and the location is not downtown and not in the campus area.
