Great experience

Room was excellent,bed was very soft along with pillows which is a plus. Room was very clean,shower was clean. My only gripe out of the whole experience is I wish the bar stayed open longer then 10PM. The overnight front desk lady was extremely nice and helpful.

Staff is very friendly and helpful. The location is close to the university and restaurants. However, the noise from traffic is too loud to enjoy the pool. Walls are thin and you can clearly hear your neighbors. We were disappointed that the bar closed at 10pm, but it wasn't a big deal! Overall, clean and pleasant experience.
