Great one-night stay! The staff were friendly and professional throughout my visit. I was pleasantly surprised with an upgrade to a clean, newly renovated room on the 18th floor, which made the stay even better. The complimentary breakfast was a nice bonus. Overall, a very comfortable and enjoyable experience.

Room was well maintained and clean, with a very comfortable bed and large walk-in shower. Bathroom towels were well stocked (meaning the room didn’t need to be serviced every day). Perfect location for the Universities and easy access to Amtrak. Staff was very friendly as well.
