Considering the price of the room for graduation weekend, this hotel will disappoint in a big way. I am sure at $69/night it would be fine. But it was $350/night for graduation which is insane for a room like those offered at this place. Location is good though.

Hotel replaced clean towels and removed trash in the room only, never remade our beds, the mattress I was sleeping on had a huge blood strain. Air conditioner in the room wasn't working correctly. The staff manager was very friendly and helpful when I had to reschedule our stay. Unfortunately the complimentary breakfast wasn't good at all. Waffle maker wasn't working correctly, ran out of milk for cereal and the apple juice wasn't cold. Next time I will pay the extra money for a more expensive hotel.
